When applying for a job they sometimes ask what your base salary was at previous employment, they they ask what your current salary requirements are, what is the best way to answer that question? I don't want to give them a number that is too high that weeds me out of the interview pool or too low that I regret it later.

The ONLY way to answer such a question is honestly.
