“I finally got my summers back. I didn’t have to work on spreadsheets late at night. That was a game changer for me.”

— Heidi Wallman, Corporate Director HRIS | Canyon Ranch

“With Salary.com's compensation planning solution, we saved 60 to 80 hours per merit cycle and made our processes so much easier.”

— Shannon Garrett, Compensation Partner | Lifeway Christian Resources

Variable pay that varies from the plan

Bonus targets set on a gut feeling rather than market data — creating inconsistency and competitiveness risk

Variable pay programs that are hard to administer, harder to explain, and often miss the mark on motivation

No clear benchmark for what competitors are paying in short-term incentives for the roles you’re trying to retain

Incentive programs built on data, not gut feelings

Benchmark bonus targets against the market

Access validated short-term incentive and bonus data for thousands of roles — so your variable pay targets reflect what the market is actually offering, not what you think it is.

Job descriptions that keep up with the market

Model programs before you commit

Design and test bonus structures in CompXL before rolling them out — modeling payout scenarios, budget impact, and employee-level effects to make sure the program works as intended.

AI-guided workflows from draft to decision

Consistent administration across the organization

Manage bonus eligibility, targets, and payouts across business units and levels in one platform — reducing manual work and keeping the process fair and transparent.

Executive-ready insights, built in
