Total Growth: Difference between your first and current salary
Average Yearly Growth: Your average annual salary increase percentage
Highest Salary: Your peak earnings to date

Export your salary history to CSV for backup or analysis in spreadsheet software. You can also import previously exported data to restore your history or transfer it to another device.

Privacy & Security

All data is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. We never see, store, or transmit your salary information. Your data stays on your device and is completely private. However, clearing your browser data will delete your history, so export regularly as a backup.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my salary data secure?

Yes! All data is stored locally in your browser using localStorage. We never see, collect, or transmit your salary information. Your data never leaves your device.

What happens if I clear my browser data?

Clearing your browser data will delete your salary history. We recommend exporting your data to CSV regularly as a backup. You can then import it back if needed.

Can I access my data on multiple devices?

Since data is stored locally, each device has its own separate history. To sync across devices, export your data from one device and import it on another.

How often should I update my salary history?

Add an entry whenever your salary changes - raises, promotions, job changes, or bonuses. Even if your salary stays the same, you might add an entry annually to track your tenure.
