Methodology
Remote salary adjustment
Employers often apply location or remote-work bands on top of a hub salary. Our static multipliers translate modeled mid-level gross pay into planning ranges—they are not verified employer policies, payroll quotes, or legal advice. Compare hub on-site pay to hybrid and remote bands before you negotiate location flexibility.

Policy bands (static multipliers)
Hub / on-site ×1.00
Baseline modeled gross when the role is tied to a high-cost hub market.
Hybrid (local) ×0.97
Mostly local office with limited remote days—small discount vs full hub on-site in our model.
Remote (same country) ×0.92
Fully remote but employer still hires in the same country—common band for US/EU domestic remote.
Remote (nearshore / lower CoL) ×0.82
Remote hire in a lower cost region while reporting to a hub-country team—illustrative planning band.
Remote (global / location-agnostic) ×0.72
Broad global remote band—often the lowest cash anchor in public band tables; verify with your employer.
