Naukri PayCheck – Check your pay

Your boss probably thinks you are already overpaid. How do you know s/he isn’t wrong? That’s why, Naukri PayCheck.

One of the reasons we change jobs, move cities, or get a higher education is to earn a higher salary. Sometimes making such changes requires a leap of faith and involves trade-offs that are not easy, and we ask, “Is it worth making this change?” - and we seek that answer in the size of our paycheck . Even those of us who are not making any change ask, “Am I being paid right? What can I do to earn more?”

To figure that out we see what people doing similar jobs are earning. However, often it is difficult to find enough number of people doing similar jobs to correctly compare our salary with. Then how do you know what your chances are of earning more elsewhere?

These questions are age-old, but with Naukri PayCheck, the answers may have never been better. Naukri PayCheck, based on self-reported, consistent and comprehensive salary information across multiple functional areas, experience levels, industries and cities, provides an exhaustive solution to your salary queries.

With Naukri PayCheck, you can find out what people with a profile exactly as yours are earning. You can determine how your salary can change with time, or if you move cities, or if you decide to switch industries, or if you upgrade your education. You can establish how much to ask while negotiating a salary offer during an interview or during appraisals. You can benchmark your salary against people you consider your competition, your peers, and even the person reading this blog right opposite your desk. You can read brief profiles of people earning more or less than you, and see the top cities, industries and companies that reportedly pay the highest salaries for your profile. Last but not the least, you can directly look at job vacancies for profiles that pay the most.

Thus, Naukri PayCheck tries to address all the questions that might pop in your mind while mulling over the your salary.

Now, for all the information that can be gleaned out of this tool, it might take some users a bit of time to figure it all out. So, we suggest you play around with the tool - click on links and dropdowns, add curves, check out the numbers, read the FAQ - basically warm up to the tool, and within a few minutes you should be an expert at it.

Bear in mind that Naukri PayCheck helps you understand how much you could earn, not necessarily how much you should earn. We get compensated according to the qualifications we have earned, the role we are in, the city we live in, the experience we have gained. But what we get paid also depends on our achievements, how well we interviewed, the college we graduated from, and also, a fair bit of luck. Finally, the size of our paycheck also depends on the choices we make - going for that MBA, or switching industries mid-career, etc. It is the sum total of the quantifiable, the unquantifiable, and the choices we make that decides what we earn. Naukri PayCheck, which talks only about the quantifiable, measureable parameters, will tell you what you could earn. It will tell you the possibilities you can explore, should you want to explore them.

We hope Naukri PayCheck aids you well in your decisions regarding your career moves. If it does, let us know. If it doesn’t, let us know how it can.

Sounds really interesting. As long as I don’t have to disclose my salary details I will like to see how much I could be earning.

The tool is nicely designed however, a change can be implemented to include career level (eg., senior management,middle management etc.). salary Suggestions should include career level as well as educational qualifications rather than number of years experience.

Brilliant tool.

I see this tool as a life changer for many of the individuals who can choose what they are earning compared to others.

By studying other’s profiles, they can know what kind of certification or education they need to opt for or they can think of moving to a different city.

The tool is utmost user friendly and offers an intuitive interface.

I would say this is a great effort which will make India to have more qualified individuals who will produce great business results.

I couldn’t stop me to recommend this tool over my blog: http://utpal.net/blog/2009/07/31/shape-your-career-with-naukri-paycheck/

Great work guys. Amazing feature addition at a very opportune moment. Another jobsite had actually pioneered this but I am sure with your network the same feature will make much more sense and will provide a more realistic and accurate analysis. One suggestion for you - Please introduce a feature through which these call center people could be blocked from acessing our accounts and could be stopped from bombarding us with irrelevant and irritating interview calls.

Beyond a point, qualifications do not have much to do with the quantum of salary. It will be the performance and end result, that is important. Out of hundred, ninety may do good routine jobs(which is important for smooth and efficient functioning of the organization), it is five decision makers who make all the difference. A person deserves good salary who can identify the problem, understand, analyze and interpret it and think of different solutions in shortest time and decide on the one which is the best.

I agree with what the graph shows. If some more functions sector wise could be included it would have been much better. For example Training Department which often goes unnoticed in any industry although its contribution can not be easily measured in monetary terms over a short period seems to have been neglected by you also.
