Which pays more on H-1B filings, Stripe or PayPal?

Stripe averaged $157,780 and PayPal averaged $179,585 across certified FY2025 filings. Median offered wage was $155,605 and $177,874 respectively.

How is this comparison calculated?

Both figures come from DOL LCA disclosure records for FY2025, filtered to certified petitions with annual wages between $30,000 and $1,000,000. Employer legal-entity name variants are grouped before counting (Stripe: 3 name variants; PayPal: 2). An LCA is a required step before an H-1B petition, not the petition itself, so these are filings rather than USCIS approvals.
