Be open and honest. Transparency is the best choice when salary-based questions arise. The interviewer would like to know if your expectations are within the company's budget and whether you are willing to negotiate if necessary. The best way to discuss your salary expectations is to use your current earnings as an example.

Focus on explaining your current salary and benefits 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 am currently making 100,000 per year with full medical benefits. I want to stay in the same range or slightly higher, based on my experience and qualifications. I want to earn what is fair in this industry, given my blend of education and expertise."
"At my last inpatient job in Indiana. I was making 28/hour. Considering my experience, that seems to be about the industry standard, and I would like to stay within that same range."
