15composite score · #46 of 50

MEDIUM · sourced, not yet live-verified

MEDIUM, and the 'pending live-verification, will return to HIGH once fetched' framing is withdrawn: the URLs have been fetched. min_wage_url verifies exactly: the cited beritajakarta article (capture 20260727123233, dated 24 December 2025) states 'telah disepakati untuk kenaikan Upah Minimum Provinsi DKI Jakarta atau UMP tahun 2026 sebesar Rp5.729.876', and Rp 5,729,876 / 173 = Rp 33,120.67/hr, matching the published rate. earnings_url publishes no pay rate at all and lists no 2024 round. median_wage_url is Cloudflare-blocked and its cited capture stores the challenge page rather than content, so the median is unverifiable; see median_wage_sample. An IDR 18,000/hr figure previously stated in this field conflicted with the row's stored 18,750 and has been removed.

Only HIGH-confidence cities carry a full verification audit. See the methodology for what each tier means.

Take-home is gross hourly minus an estimated tax/expense rate per country. See the methodology page for the derivation. This widget assumes you actually work the hours you set. For app-based delivery, a portion of logged-in time is unpaid waiting; the headline rate reflects engaged time only where regulators have defined it.
