calculate_wage_bands
Benchmark local salary bands (min, median, top 10%)

Models a country's wage distribution as log-normal, calibrated from World Bank GNI per capita (mean) and the Gini index (spread: sigma = sqrt(2)*normInv((Gini+1)/2)), then returns the survival floor (essentials), statutory minimum (ILOSTAT where available, else curated; null where none exists), median (p50), comfortable (p75), top 10% (p90) and top 1% (p99) bands — each monthly and annual, USD and local currency. Optional salary locates a pay figure on the curve (percentile + out-earns %); percentile returns that exact threshold wage. Model estimates for benchmarking, not payroll data.
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| country | string | yes | ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 country code (case-insensitive). |
| salary | number | no | Your salary to locate on the distribution. Values over 20000 are read as annual (÷12), else monthly. |
| percentile | number | no | Return the exact wage threshold at this percentile (e.g. 90 for the top-10% floor). |
