Salary Data Collection — Current Status and Evidence Standards

Salary collection is inactive. What would be required before NaijaCalc could publish verified reader salary observations.

Updated 2026-09-28

Current status: inactive

There is no configured salary collection form and no imported reader salary dataset. The salary amounts retained in expandable illustrations are not verified local wages or survey medians. Do not send payslips or personal documents by email in response to this page.

Correction to the earlier description

The previous guide described a collection and verification process as if it were operating. It was a proposed technical workflow. Indicating that a payslip or offer letter exists does not verify its contents, and a small number of submissions does not establish a representative market salary.

Before any future collection

We would need a published consent and privacy policy, data minimisation and retention rules, a secure submission method, a genuine verification procedure, duplicate handling, and explicit limits on representativeness. Publication thresholds would need to reflect role, experience, location, sector, date and sample quality—not simply a small count.

No collection is being launched by this correction. Official-data research and any future voluntary salary study would be separate projects.

What readers can do now

Use a written offer and confirmed deductions in the take-home calculator. Compare actual expenses in the relocation budget calculator. For salary negotiation evidence, keep dated comparable job advertisements or independently documented survey findings, rather than citing our legacy illustrations as market wages.
