thousand. So, $25k - $35K means $25000 - $35000

"K" is the abbreviation for the prefix "kilo" -- meaning 1000 units. "Kilo" is used in reference to metric measurements (1 kilometre = 1000 metres, 1 kilogram = 1000 grams).

The term "Kilo" comes from the Greek word, "khilioi", meaning 1000.

(Please note that, in reference to computing terms (such as kilobytes), kilo no longer strictly means 1000, and will often reference 1024 instead (2^1000). Due to the way in which memory is addressed, it is not logical to group memory into batches of 1000 or 1000000 bytes, so "kilobytes" should refer to 1024 bytes. Modern hard drive vendors, however, interpret a kilobyte to mean exactly 1000 bytes, which allows them to legally misrepresent the actual capacity of the hard drive.)

k =Thousand, 1 000

K: an informal abbreviation for one thousand used in expressions of Job Salary.

The symbol "K" is often used informally to mean a multiple of (a) thousand, so one may talk of "a 40K salary" (40000), or the Y2K problem. ...
