How these figures are built
For job titles we combine the pay ranges in the actuarial roles advertised over the last 12 months with what we see in our own search work, and every figure is reviewed by our team. Each figure is a typical base salary, and lower and upper figures are the lower and upper quartiles. They show what employers pay to hire, not what current staff earn. No individual salaries are ever published. How the index is built.
