Compensation Localizer calculates the difference between costs in the current and proposed locations, accounting for taxes, goods and services, housing expenses, and other costs and allowances.
Readily customize the calculations to your specifications — down to the individual employee’s situation — or use Mercer’s robust standardized market data. For example, you can use our standard assumptions on normative housing expenses in the host location, or override them by choosing the actual accommodation type or a specific rental cost to be used in the calculation.
