Calculate the percentage gap between two average salaries. Enter the two group averages you already have.
Calculate the percentage gap between two average salaries. Enter the two group averages you already have.
Gap = (higher average − lower average) ÷ higher average × 100. The difference in money is the higher average minus the lower average.
An average of £52,000 against an average of £45,500 is a gap of £6,500, which is 12.5% of the higher average. The page does not know which group is which. It reports the gap between the two numbers you enter. A statutory gender pay gap report uses defined hourly rates, bonus shares, and quartiles. Those extra steps are not done here. A gap between two averages is a prompt to look at the jobs, the hours, and the levels inside each average.
The higher average is £52,000. The difference is £6,500. 6,500 ÷ 52,000 × 100.
12.5% gap
£48,000 and £48,000.
0% gap
No. Two averages can differ because the groups do different jobs or sit at different levels. Unequal pay for the same work is a comparison of individuals in the same role, not of two company-wide averages.
Either way. The result uses the higher of the two as the baseline. Swap them and the percentage stays the same.
Yes. Label the result as a median gap if that is what you typed. A median moves less when a few very high salaries sit in one group.
The gap is between the two averages you type in. It is not a statutory gender pay gap report.
