Base salary
Compare fixed pay using a defined period and working time basis.
EUROPEAN SALARY DATA
Compensation data that provides a foundation for decisions.
Understand the relevant market for salary budgets, hiring and consistent compensation structures.
Salary data shows how comparable roles are paid in the market. Relevant matching is essential: duties, responsibility, industry, company size and region must fit your own job. DeBott connects this assessment with analytical compensation consulting.
A job title alone is not enough.
Broad comparison groups may hide important differences. Narrow groups require sufficiently robust data. Scope and market characteristics are defined together before individual salary values are used for decisions.

Does market data create an entitlement to a salary?
No. Market values provide guidance. Individual decisions also consider job value, experience, internal comparability and business conditions.
Which pay components are compared?
Base salary, variable compensation and total cash are assessed separately. Period, working time basis and component definitions must be consistent.
