What Pay Gap Calculator does
This pay gap calculator reveals the median wage differences between US full-time working men and women, broken down by gender, race/ethnicity, and occupation. Users can input their own salary to see how it compares across demographic groups, and the tool can hypothetically show what a white man or Latino woman in the same occupation would earn. The result highlights the earnings gap in both percentage and dollar terms, offering a concrete way to visualize disparities that are often discussed in abstract terms.
