#### Formula

Total Benchmark Score (0–100) = Health & Wellness Score + Retirement & Financial Score + Leave & Time-Off Score + Learning & Development Score + Cost Competitiveness Score

Each category is scored out of 20 points:

Total Benefits Cost per Employee = Health Spend + Wellness Spend + L&D Spend + (Salary × Retirement Match%) + Life Insurance Premium (≈ 0.3% × Coverage Multiple × Salary) + LTD Premium (≈ 1% of Salary if offered)

Benefits as % of Salary = Total Benefits Cost per Employee / Average Annual Salary × 100

Regional benchmarks are adjusted by industry multipliers (Technology: 1.25×, Finance: 1.20×, Healthcare: 1.15×, Professional Services: 1.10×, Manufacturing: 0.95×, Retail: 0.85×).
