Example Output
Compensation Analysis Report for Engineering Team
| Role | Current | Market 25th | Market 50th | Market 75th | Gap | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Senior Engineer | $125K | $130K | $155K | $185K | -20% | Increase to $150K |
| Product Manager | $110K | $125K | $145K | $170K | -24% | Increase to $145K |
| DevOps Engineer | $105K | $120K | $140K | $160K | -25% | Increase to $135K |
Key Findings: Three roles are below the 25th percentile. Estimated adjustment cost: $35K annual. Priority: Product Manager and Senior Engineer (highest impact, competitive retention risk).
Geographic Adjustment Example: New York office costs 1.35x base salary vs. Denver (based on COL and local market rates). Senior Engineer earning $125K in Denver would require $169K in New York to remain competitive.
