Market Pay Data You Can Cite
Capture benchmarks per role and location as p50/p75/p90, stamped with the provider and date, so every band, offer, and merit decision references a dated, sourced number.
A benchmark capture surface
Comp decisions get contested when the market number behind them is vague. Fintra captures each benchmark as a stored record - job title, location, currency, and p50/p75/p90 - with the provider and a captured-at timestamp, so you always know where a number came from and how old it is.

Frequently asked questions
How does Fintra store benchmarks?
As records per job title and location with p50/p75/p90 percentiles, currency, the provider name, and a captured-at timestamp - so each number is sourced and dated.
Where does the market data come from?
Through a provider interface: a deterministic mock provider for demos and a wired seam for a live provider like salary.com, which returns data when connected.
What are benchmarks used for?
Defining compensation bands, positioning offers against market, giving managers context in merit cycles, and anchoring pay-equity analysis.
How do I know a benchmark is current?
Each capture stores its timestamp, so you can see how fresh the underlying data is and refresh when it ages.
