Why Trust Our Calculators?
Official Government Data Sources
We don’t rely on self-reported data or crowdsourced estimates. Our salary and income calculators use official datasets from:
- U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) – Occupational Employment and Wage Statistics (OEWS) program, surveying 1.2 million establishments
- U.S. Census Bureau – Current Population Survey (CPS) covering 95,000 households annually
- Educational Testing Service (ETS) – Official GRE percentile tables
- College Board – SAT and ACT percentile distributions
Your Privacy is Protected
Your calculator inputs are never stored or transmitted. All calculations happen in your browser using JavaScript. The salary, income, or test scores you enter remain completely private on your device. We don’t collect, store, or share your personal calculation data.
Accurate Methodology
Our percentile calculations use the standard statistical formula: (values below yours ÷ total values) × 100. This is the same methodology used by the U.S. government for official wage reporting and by testing organizations for score interpretation.
Regularly Updated Data
We update our salary and income datasets quarterly when new BLS and Census Bureau data is released, ensuring you always compare against the most current statistics available.
PercentileCalculator.us By the Numbers
About the Founder
Gadde Sasi Venkata Kumar
Founder & Data AnalystPercentileCalculator.us was founded by Gadde Sasi Venkata Kumar, a data analyst with over 10 years of experience working with statistical datasets, government employment data, and educational assessment metrics.
After years of working with Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data and helping job seekers understand their market value, Kumar recognized that most people don’t have easy access to the percentile analysis tools that HR professionals and statisticians use daily. He created PercentileCalculator.us to bridge this gap.
Kumar holds expertise in statistical analysis, data visualization, and public dataset interpretation. His commitment to data accuracy and user privacy drives every aspect of PercentileCalculator.us—from the official data sources we use to the client-side calculation approach that keeps your inputs completely private.
