Global Salary Benchmark Tool
Before you build an offer for an international assignment or a domestic relocation, start with the numbers. Compare benchmark pay by role and market, then see how take-home salaries stack up across the world's highest-paying economies.
Figures are benchmarks and will vary by experience, industry, employer, and location. Use them as a starting point for total compensation planning — not a final offer.
Step 1
Compare Salary by Role and Market
Choose a role and a market to see an illustrative 2026 benchmark, how that market ranks against the others for the same role, and how it compares to the U.S. This standalone version uses sample data and can be connected to your organization's own compensation source.
Base salary is the starting line, not the finish
A market can pay more on paper and still leave a transferee worse off once tax, housing, and cost of living are factored in. Model the full package — not just the headline number — so your offer is competitive for the candidate and predictable for finance.
Step 2
