Salary benchmarking insights to attract, retain and reward top talent

Brightmine Compensation Planning is a self‑serve compensation insights tool that helps HR and reward teams benchmark pay, review salaries, and design fair pay structures using the UK’s freshest employer‑reported data. It gives you reliable market insight without relying on consultants or outdated salary surveys.

Compensation planning is how employers review and set pay to make sure it is fair and competitive in the UK market.
It is important because pay changes quickly. Using outdated data or spreadsheets can lead to overpaying, underpaying, or losing talent. Good compensation planning helps UK employers make confident pay decisions, manage costs, and support fairness across the workforce.

It helps you make confident, defensible pay decisions. With access to up‑to‑date market data refreshed every 30 days, you can see how your pay compares, reduce guesswork, and avoid over‑ or under‑paying. Automated tools reduce manual work, so planning pay takes less time and carries less risk.

Brightmine Compensation Planning includes:

• Salary benchmarking by role, industry, location, and company size
• Pay review tools to compare employee pay against the market
• Pay grading to design and analyse salary bands
• Automated job matching to save time and improve accuracy
• Market articles and reports on pay trends and best practices
• Employee benefits benchmarking to compare non‑cash rewards

Yes. It’s designed for both large and small teams with limited time and resources, and is widely used by organisations with fewer than 500 employees. It replaces spreadsheets and consultants with fast, easytouse tools that smaller HR teams can manage confidently on their own.

Costs vary depending on your organisation’s needs. To get the right option for your team, you’ll need to speak with Brightmine directly.

Brightmine supports compensation planning by giving UK employers easy access to reliable market data and practical tools in one place. You can benchmark roles, review employee pay against the market, and design or refine pay grades without relying on spreadsheets or consultants. Automated job matching and self‑serve tools help make pay decisions faster, more consistent, and easier to justify.

Brightmine compensation data comes from over 1 million UK employer‑reported records, not scraped job ads or annual salary surveys. The data is refreshed every 30 days, so employers are always working with up‑to‑date market information when making pay decisions.
