Executive Compensation Report
Analyzing charity staff costs and average remuneration per employee
How this works: We calculate the average cost per Full-Time Equivalent (FTE) employee using total employee remuneration divided by estimated FTE (full-time + 0.5 x part-time). This metric helps identify charities with unusually high or low staffing costs relative to their peers.

Understanding Compensation Analysis
What This Measures
- Total employee remuneration includes salaries, wages, and related costs
- FTE (Full-Time Equivalent) = full-time + (part-time x 0.5)
- Average per FTE helps compare across different organization sizes
- Salary ratio shows staffing costs as percentage of total expenses
Important Caveats
- High averages may reflect specialized workforce (doctors, engineers)
- Part-time counts may underestimate actual hours worked
- Some charities may include contractor costs in remuneration
- Location affects salaries (Auckland vs regional areas)
