      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.
