A system and method for providing salary data to a self designated survey group comprises the step of establishing a salary survey service on a server for storing and accessing salary data. Once established, the salary survey service accepts membership from a plurality of members through the salary survey service. At least a portion of the members then store salary data on a database that is associated with the server. The members are grouped into a survey group designated by a portion of the plurality of members. Salary surveys are generated for the survey group using the stored salary data provided by members of the survey group. The generated surveys may then be accessed via the Internet.
