  • Handy Tip
  • Do you know how to quickly and easily calculate the minimum and maximum of a salary range of any width based on a specific midpoint? Multiply the midpoint by 2, then divide by 2 + the percentage as a decimal -- and that's the minimum! For example, if the midpoint is $100,000 and you want a 60% wide range, the calculation is:
    ..........$200,000/2.6 = $76,923.
    The maximum would then be $123,077 and sure enough, the total width is 60%!
