When looking for a job, its a good idea to know how much money to ask for in the position you are applying for. In many instances, the job ad states that your salary will be according to your experience. Searching for the average pay for a profession on Google can be difficult and time consuming to get real numbers. Most of them are not posted online.

You can check how much a job should be paying with itWorldCanada.com’s Salary 2008 Calculator. The site claims the information is current and it will display your regional income against the national average.

There are three categories to choose from: IT Executive and Senior Management, IT Management, and Staff/Technical Positions. You would then select the job title, size of the company, the industry, and the province of employment. I selected Software Engineer in a company of less than 100 employees, the industry was Computer/Technology, and the region was British Columbia. The base salary for B.C. is $68,500 and the national average is $76,605 (the total cash compensation would bring that to $85,735). I’m not sure how accurate those numbers are, but they seem about right.

While the salary calculator was designed with Canadian provinces in mind, it can be used by Americans since our dollar is almost equal in value, and salaries in both countries are also similar.
