Quick answer: what should a Software Engineer earn in Hyderabad?

Benchmark against the band for your exact role, experience and city rather than a national average, which hides the two variables that move Indian pay most. Treat the range on this page as a negotiating window rather than a single number, and quote the lower-middle of it as your floor rather than your expectation.

Where does this salary figure come from?

The band is computed from salaries employers actually published on live listings, not from a self-reported survey. One limitation is stated rather than hidden: roles advertising no salary cannot be counted, and those skew senior, so the true top of the market runs higher than any advertised band shows.
