Suppose your interviewer is seriously considering you as a candidate for this role. In that case, the interview is a good time for them to make sure that you would seriously consider any offer sent your way. This question point blank asks if you have any specific salary requirements if you are eventually offered this position.

Be open and honest. Transparency is the best choice when salary-based questions arise. If salary isn't your ultimate deciding factor in your search, don't hesitate to mention that to your interviewer. The best way to discuss your salary expectations is to use your current earnings as an example. You can also explain what your current salary and benefits are and how you would like to stay in the same range or slightly higher, based on your experience. If you are more comfortable giving a range, shoot for higher than you want so there is room for negotiations. However, you want to ensure you do not name a range higher than the job description lists, or you might talk yourself out of a job.

"I see you offer a salary range of 97,000 to 140,000 per year with full benefits. I am currently making 105,00 per year with full benefits. I would expect to stay in the same income bracket if offered the position."

I have been interviewing for roles around the 100k per year range. I think my skill set and the market seem to be in line with that range.
