#### Formula
1. PPP-Adjusted Salary = Base Salary (USD) × PPP Factor 2. Statutory Cost = PPP Salary × Statutory Rate (%) 3. Discretionary Baseline = PPP Salary × Home Benefits (%) 4. Market Discretionary = Discretionary Baseline × Market Adj. × Competitiveness Multiplier 5. Total Benefits (Local) = Statutory Cost + Market Discretionary 6. Total Benefits (USD) = Total Benefits (Local) ÷ PPP Factor 7. Total Comp / Employee = Base Salary + Total Benefits (USD) 8. Fleet Total = Total Comp / Employee × Headcount 9. Effective Benefits Rate = (Total Benefits USD ÷ Base Salary) × 100
#### Assumptions & References
- PPP Factors: World Bank International Comparison Program (ICP) 2023 — PA.NUS.PPP indicator. Converts USD purchasing power to local currency equivalent.
- Statutory Rates: KPMG Global Employer Services Guide 2023; include employer social security, pension, health insurance, and other mandatory contributions.
- Market Adjustment Ratios: Mercer Total Remuneration Survey 2023; reflect local market norms relative to a US baseline.
- Competitiveness Multiplier: User-selected tier (85%–130%) applied to discretionary benefits to position against local talent market.
