Summary

Pave Market Data provides compensation benchmarks to help companies make pay decisions. Its benchmarks cover base salary, bonus and variable pay, total cash compensation, and new-hire and ongoing equity. Pave gathers information through persistent connections to HRIS, ATS and equity management systems, matches employee records to job architecture using machine learning, then aggregates and de-identifies the data. Data is collected daily, while updated benchmarks are published monthly. The methodology guide describes more than 200 job families; Pro covers more than 55 countries and 90 cities or metros. Pro includes custom peer groups, advanced equity data and customized reports. Lite is described for startups with 1–200 employees and covers the overall U.S. market plus one additional market. Access requires connecting HR platforms. Lite is free; Pro pricing is by quote. Pave says its data is aggregated and de-identified and users cannot see competitor-specific compensation data.
