How the calculator works
- How is the Sprint Labs figure worked out?
- It is the midpoint of the published monthly band for that role and seniority, converted from USD at the latest mid-market rate with no markup. The full band is shown in each row's breakdown.
- Where do the local salary figures come from?
- Each local figure is the midpoint of a sourced salary range, such as a recruiter salary guide. The source and year are shown in each row's breakdown. Roles appear only once their benchmark has been reviewed.
- What does the true cost of a local hire include?
- Base salary plus employer on-costs such as superannuation or KiwiSaver, workers compensation or ACC levies, leave provisions and an overhead allowance. Overhead is a Sprint Labs assumption, not a statutory cost. Australian payroll tax is only added if you tell us your wages are above the state threshold.
- What is the hourly equivalent?
- The typical monthly price in USD divided by 160 hours. It is shown for comparison only; Sprint Labs bills monthly.
