Pihr’s method has been developed over 15 years with clients operating in a multimarket context. Use it out of the box, or add company-specific criteria from your own pay policy.
Document every pay gap, then close it
Give each unexplained difference a documented reason, and see what it costs to close the gaps that remain.
Every unexplained gap gets a documented explanation
Pihr lists every pay difference that your pay criteria cannot explain. Work through the list, add the reason for each gap, and Pihr documents the explanation in your pay audit.
- A list of every gap that needs an explanation
- Reason and comment for each individual
- Explanations saved in the pay audit documentation and can be reused next year
See what it costs to close the gap that is actually there

- Cost per individual and at company level
- Choose the target, for example the group median

Use our job evaluation, or bring your own
Pay transparency starts with knowing which roles are equal or of equal value. Value every role with Pihr Evaluation, or import the job architecture you already have. Pihr works with either.
