Pay Equality

Unadjusted Pay Gap

Pay equality is one measure which can be used to help monitor and eliminate discrimination within an organisation. Calculations for pay equality can be complicated by other indicators of discrimination such as seniority level.

Average salary for each gender is calculated in the following way:

Average Gender Salary = Total Salary for Gender / Headcount for Gender

Glassdoor provides a comprehensive explanation of this unadjusted pay equity calculated and a link to this can be found in the additional information section

The formula used in the calculation is:

Unadjusted Pay Gap = (Average Male Pay - Average Female Pay) / Average Male Pay
