Where Compono fits

Closing a pay gap starts with understanding why it exists, which means looking at who is hired, promoted and paid, and on what basis. Compono adds the people-insight layer to your existing HR records, so pay and progression decisions are made on consistent, defensible criteria rather than gut feel. Built on decades of psychometric research and trusted by government departments and mid-market employers across ANZ, rated 4.8 out of 5 on Capterra.

How it's calculated

The mean gap is average male pay minus average female pay, divided by average male pay, times 100. The median gap uses the same formula on median pay rather than averages, which reduces the distorting effect of a few very high earners. Benchmarks come from the WGEA 2024 to 25 Scorecard, which reports a 21.1% national gap on total remuneration (down 0.7 points), with employer-level data now published for more than 10,500 organisations (2024-25 reporting). New Zealand employers can use the Ministry for Women toolkit.

Common questions

What is the difference between the mean and median gender pay gap?

The mean gap compares average pay for men and women. The median gap compares the middle earner in each group, which is less affected by a small number of very high salaries. WGEA reports both.

How does my result compare to the national average?

WGEA reports a national gender pay gap of 21.1% on total remuneration in its 2024 to 25 scorecard, down 0.7 points. The tool shows your figure next to that benchmark.

Is the gender pay gap the same as equal pay?

No. Equal pay means equal pay for the same or comparable work, which is a legal requirement. The gender pay gap is the difference in average pay across all men and women in an organisation, and it is driven largely by composition and seniority.

Is my employer's gap published?

WGEA now publishes employer-level gender pay gaps for more than 10,500 organisations under its 2024-25 reporting. If your organisation reports to WGEA, your gap is publicly available.
