Then you are above my pay grade. You should post a question in the support forum.

What do you mean by pay grade?

It is an idiom that indicates one's seniority in an organization. In this case, it meant that I don't know enough to answer your question.

I've learned a new expression - "be above (beyond) one's pay grade".

Thank you, Mike.

We use the same idiom in BrE, but I would say that's above my pay grade rather than you are.

Normally, we use "that's" also.
