How Accurate is LinkedIn's Salary Estimator?

Im looking at a position in a high COL area. Linkedin estimates the salary at 83k+2-5k bonus.

Indeed Estimates 78.8k

Meanwhile glassdoor shows 65k based off an acutal salary number.

LinkedIns number is closer to what I would like. I just saw a nice 1 bedroom condo for rent that I can live in. If I make 85k and still have the same amount of savings as my current job where I make less. If LinkedIn is far off then me and a roomate are going to have to have to share a bridge.

Seriously, though does any one inside info into the accuracy of these platforms?
