| Protected Group | Comparison Group | Protected Avg Pay | Comparison Avg Pay | Protected Headcount | Allowable Gap | Budget |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Women Managers | Men Managers | $72,000 | $78,000 | 18 | 5% | $60,000 |
| Minority Analysts | Non Minority Analysts | $54,500 | $57,200 | 26 | 4% | $25,000 |

Raw Gap % = ((Comparison Average Pay - Protected Average Pay) / Comparison Average Pay) x 100
Explained Gap % = Performance Adjustment % + Tenure Adjustment % + Location Adjustment %
Adjusted Gap % = Max(Raw Gap % - Explained Gap %, 0)
Parity Ratio % = (Protected Average Pay / Comparison Average Pay) x 100
Target Protected Pay = Comparison Average Pay x (1 - Allowable Gap % / 100)
Increase Per Employee = Max(Target Protected Pay - Protected Average Pay, 0)
Total Remediation Cost = Increase Per Employee x Protected Group Headcount
Pay parity compliance is a core part of modern compensation strategy. HR teams need fast ways to review salary fairness. People Ops leaders also need clear evidence for audits, planning, and remediation decisions. This calculator helps compare a protected group against a reference group using practical inputs.
A pay gap can create legal, operational, and cultural risk. It can affect retention, engagement, and employer reputation. A structured pay parity review helps teams spot gaps early. It also supports a stronger compensation governance process.
The calculator estimates the raw pay gap, explained gap, adjusted gap, and parity ratio. It also shows the target protected pay needed to stay within your threshold. That makes the tool useful for salary review cycles, annual audits, promotion reviews, and workforce planning.
Not every pay difference means noncompliance. Some variation may come from job related factors. This page lets you enter performance, tenure, and location adjustments. Those inputs reduce the raw gap and produce an adjusted gap. The final result helps you decide whether the pay difference stays inside your policy threshold.
Compensation teams often need more than a gap percentage. They also need a cost estimate. This calculator shows the increase needed per employee and the total remediation cost. It compares that number with your available budget. That helps prioritize actions across teams, departments, or job levels.
For the best results, use validated pay data from the same role family, grade, or job level. Keep your market definitions consistent. Review any unusual data points before final decisions. When used carefully, a pay parity compliance calculator supports equitable pay analysis and better compensation planning.
It shows the raw pay gap, explained adjustments, adjusted gap, parity ratio, remediation target pay, total estimated cost, budget variance, and a simple compliance status.
No. It is a planning tool for HR and People Ops. It helps organize pay review data, but it does not replace legal advice, policy review, or jurisdiction specific compliance analysis.
The allowable gap acts as your internal review threshold. It helps decide whether the adjusted pay difference falls within policy or whether a closer compensation review is needed.
They are job related factors that may explain part of a difference in pay. This version includes performance, tenure, and location adjustments as simple percentage inputs.
Yes. Many teams use it for role families, departments, grades, locations, or manager cohorts. Just make sure both groups are comparable before interpreting the result.
Parity ratio compares the protected group average pay with the comparison group average pay. A ratio closer to 100 percent usually indicates stronger pay alignment.
Headcount helps estimate remediation cost. Even a small pay gap can create a large budget impact when many employees are included in the protected group.
Yes. After calculating, you can download the output as CSV or PDF. That makes it easier to save findings, share reviews, or document compensation planning steps.
