Pay range

The minimum and maximum pay an employer expects to offer for a role.

A pay range (also salary range, pay scale or wage scale) is the span from the lowest to the highest pay an employer reasonably expects to offer for a position.

Most laws expect a real minimum and maximum. Open-ended phrasing such as "$80,000 and up" or "competitive" generally does not satisfy them.
