Global Pay Benchmarking

Pay data for 50+ countries, without the enterprise price tag

The price tag for traditional salary surveys can be hefty. A survey covering specific roles, regions or benefits, costs can quickly escalate into the tens of thousands. However, that level of detail isn’t necessary for many organisations. Our global pay benchmarking data gives you base salary and total cash figures across:

50+ Countries

10 Job Families

5 Levels Per Country

Whether you’re benchmarking pay formally for the first time or looking for affordable multi-country data, you get what you need at a fraction of the typical cost.

You’ll receive the data as a ready-to-use spreadsheet for your chosen countries. No waiting for a consultant, no lengthy project timelines. Just the numbers you need to make informed pay decisions.

Pricing Comparison

Traditional salary surveys provide granular, role-specific data. They match your individual jobs to the market, give you percentile breakdowns, and often include detailed benefits and allowances information. Pricing often depends on factors like:

  • The number of roles
  • The number of countries
  • Depth of analysis required

Granular data cuts or executive summaries will often come with an extra charge, and survey participation doesn’t always guarantee full access to results! Many providers use tiered pricing, with the insights you need locked behind premium costing.

Think of our global pay summary as a reliable overview of the pay landscape in each market.

For many organisations, that overview is exactly what they need. If you want to check whether your pay is in the right range across multiple countries, understand the general market in a new location, or give leadership a clear picture of where you stand globally, our summary data does the job at a fraction of the cost.

Who This is For

  • You’re benchmarking pay for the first time

If you’ve been relying on job adverts and recruitment agency data, you already know it only tells part of the story. Our global pay summary gives you structured, research-backed data, powered by Mercer, so you can set competitive salaries with more confidence, and without committing to an expensive annual survey subscription.

  • You need multi-country data without the multi-country price.

If you have people in several countries and can’t justify spending thousands per location on individual salary surveys, this gives you a clear pay picture across all your markets in one package.

Need More Than Just the Data?

If you need support interpreting the data or putting it into practice, our reward team can help. We offer a full global pay benchmarking service that includes:

  • Creating universal job levels based on impact and complexity, not titles
  • Applying consistent pay principles and progression logic across different countries
  • Helping your people understand the how and why behind pay decisions
  • Setting up an ongoing benchmarking process you can manage in-house
