What you get

  • A complete cost comparison. See the difference between the current and new location, including taxes, goods and services, housing, and other costs and allowances.
  • Your employee’s equivalent pay. Know the exact amount your employee needs in the host location to keep the same purchasing power.
  • Market context. Compare the package to your own local pay structure or to our total rewards market data.
  • Flexible assumptions. Use our standard data or tailor the calculation to an individual employee, such as choosing their actual housing type or rental cost.
  • An easy-to-use tool. Run calculations quickly with an enhanced, user-friendly interface.

How it can help

  • Make smarter pay decisions. Identify whether you need transitional or ongoing supplemental payments, so you spend only what’s necessary.
  • Have better conversations with employees. Confidently present a package that represents a gain, or decide how to cushion one that represents a loss.
  • Stay competitive in local markets. Check every package against local market pay so your offers attract and keep the talent you need.
  • Save time. Run fast, consistent calculations your team can repeat for every move.

Use the Local Plus Calculator any time you build a host-based pay package, including:

  • As an alternative to a traditional home-based international assignment package
  • When moving international assignees to local pay (localization)
  • For one-way international transfers
  • For foreign nationals you hire locally
