Tabu for individuals
Not sure if your salary is fair? Tabu gives you real numbers, clear comparisons, and the confidence you need for salary negotiations.
Find out where you stand among your peers and ask for a raise based on the latest insights and an analysis of over 27,000 salaries.
More confidence, less guessing — ask for what you deserve
Salary negotiations can be uncomfortable, stressful, and full of uncertainty — especially when you don’t have a clear picture of the market. Tabu gives you a sense of confidence because you’re not relying on impressions, rumors, or job ad salaries — you’re using real data. When you know where you stand compared to your peers, you can negotiate more clearly and back your requests with confidence.
Tabu doesn’t just give you numbers — it gives you a sense of control in the conversations that matter most to your career.
The data shown in the photo serves only to demonstrate the solution.

Detailed analysis of over 27,000 salaries
Tabu is powered by an extensive dataset that is updated every three months, ensuring high accuracy and reliability. Thanks to this database, you can compare yourself by job position, seniority level, and other relevant parameters — giving you a detailed and realistic overview of the current market.
No more assumptions — rely on verified data to make informed decisions.
Your personal data is completely protected and anonymous
Your privacy is our absolute priority. All the data you enter is shown only in anonymized and aggregated form — and only when there are enough entries (at least 5 for a given parameter). This means your personal data is never visible, neither individually nor as part of a small sample. This ensures maximum protection and confidentiality, without compromise.
Tabu gives you full control over what you share — the platform is anonymous, and we’re always here if you need support.
With our team, you can feel safe, protected, and informed every time you use Tabu.

Tabu is here for you — free and secure
Using Tabu as a private user is completely free. We are funded through solutions for business users, who only have access to aggregated and anonymized data — your personal information remains anonymous and secure.
There is no way for anyone in the business sector to identify your individual entry or connect the data to your identity.
Your contribution helps build a more transparent job market, and in return, we provide you with clear market insights and support.
Compare the benefits too — it’s not all about salary
With Tabu, you can also compare benefits — because we know the true value of your position isn’t just in the numbers.
From the number of vacation days, financial bonuses and incentives, flexible work arrangements and mobility, to team buildings, learning opportunities, and social responsibility.
You get a clear and complete picture of how competitive your benefits really are — and the confidence to recognize what’s fair and what could be better, especially if you want to work at a company that truly values its people.
Tabu for students — hourly rates for student jobs
We know how hard it can be to figure out what your work is worth when you're getting your first job — especially in the fast-paced, often confusing IT industry. That’s why Tabu now allows you to enter hourly rates for student jobs.
Based on the data you provide, we calculate your estimated monthly salary so you can compare it with other students in similar roles.
Everything is anonymous, simple, and actually useful — giving you a clearer idea of where you stand, so you don’t feel lost at the start of your career.

Tabu wouldn’t be what it is without its users. We listen to your needs, suggestions, and feedback every day — and your input helps us improve Tabu continuously.

What do business users say about us?
Aside from finally having a systematic overview of industry wages, what I find most valuable is confidence in the methodology and accuracy of the data we use when making decisions. We could not achieve this amount of data and the level of processing of the collected data alone.

TABU definitely helped me in the salary negotiations. I have not been able to reach the desired, average salary for the position, but I believe that without detailed statistics this shift would have been smaller. I'm glad I gave my superiors an insight into how far we are from average.
