In-depth reports on pay levels and trends by country, sector and role, built to help you understand where the market stands.
Global Salary Research
Understanding what the world earns.
Kensington Wealth is an independent research firm dedicated to salary markets and compensation worldwide. We turn remuneration data into clear, decision-ready insight for employers, investors and institutions.
About us
Independent insight into global pay.
Compensation is one of the most important — and least transparent — drivers of economic decisions. Kensington Wealth was founded to bring rigour and clarity to that market.
We study salaries across countries, industries and seniority levels, analysing how pay is structured, how it evolves, and what shapes it. Our work combines quantitative analysis with on-the-ground market knowledge to give our clients a reliable picture of the compensation landscape.
- Independent — no affiliation with recruiters or vendors.
- Rigorous — transparent, documented methodology.
- Confidential — client data handled with the utmost discretion.
