    Hovering a LinkedIn job listing opens the Ballpark estimate card

    Two things on the page.

    Glance at the badge, open the card when a role is worth a closer look.

    How it estimates.

    Every number comes from the listing in front of you and a set of market bands that ship with the extension.

    1. Reads the listing

      Title, company and location, taken from the job card on screen.

    2. Works out the level

      Seniority from the title, plus the employer’s tier and the local market.

    3. Applies a band

      Maps that combination to a market range in local currency, with the pay basis labelled.

    4. Shows its working

      A range, a signal strength, and the inputs it used, so you can judge it.

    Optional: Add your own Anthropic API key in settings to refine estimates for unusual titles. Without it, nothing leaves your browser.

    An estimate, and it says so.

    Ballpark gives you a reasonable starting point for a conversation about pay. It isn’t salary data, and it never shows what a specific person earns.

    Signal strength tells you how complete the listing was, not how accurate the number is. A strong signal on an unusual role can still be off.

    Strong Partial Weak

    • Points to real numbersEvery card links out to salary sources so you can check it.
