What Equal Pay Radar does

Pay equity is no longer just a question of fairness, but increasingly one of proof. The German Pay Transparency Act gives employees a right to information about the salary structure, and the EU Pay Transparency Directive will sharpen reporting obligations for employers significantly over the coming years. Anyone who does not know their own numbers walks straight into it. The Equal Pay Radar helps you get the overview.

The principle is simple: you enter your staff with role, gender, salary and optionally years of experience. The tool computes the average and median salaries per gender, the unadjusted gender pay gap as a percentage and the salary ranges. So you see at a glance whether and where men, women and non-binary staff are paid differently.

The real value lies in the breakdown by role. An overall average can mislead because it mixes different positions - the meaningful comparison is within the same role. The tool builds the comparison between genders for each role and shows you where the same work is paid differently. That is exactly the core question of equal pay.

The results are shown in clear bar charts with a traffic-light colour coding: a gap under five percent counts as low, up to fifteen percent as moderate, above that as high. So you do not have to interpret it yourself but immediately see which role needs attention. You can save your entries and export the result as a PDF, for example for management or the works council.

Important context: the radar calculates the unadjusted gender pay gap - it does not automatically account for factors like experience, qualification or part-time work. An unadjusted difference is not proof of discrimination, but a reason to look more closely. The experience field helps you frame plausible explanations. It does not replace an employment-law or collective-agreement review.

Everything runs in your browser and your sensitive salary data never leaves your device. No account, no upload, no cloud - with figures this delicate that is not a detail but the basic prerequisite. You can calculate as honestly as you like without anyone reading along.

Frequently asked questions

What is the unadjusted gender pay gap?

It measures the average salary difference between men and women without adjusting for factors like position, experience, qualification or working time. It is a good first indicator but not proof of discrimination - a high value is a reason to look more closely.

Why is the per-role comparison more important?

Because an overall average mixes different positions. If men are more often in higher-paid roles, a gap appears that has nothing to do with unequal pay for equal work. The comparison within the same role answers the actual equal-pay question.

Do I have to prove pay equity as an employer?

The German Pay Transparency Act gives employees in larger companies a right to information, and the EU Pay Transparency Directive will bring sharpened reporting duties over the coming years. So it is worth knowing your own structure before anyone asks. This tool does not replace a legal review.

What is the experience field for?

Experience is one of the most common legitimate reasons for salary differences. By recording it, you can better judge whether a gap is plausibly explainable or not. The field is optional.

Is my salary data safe?

Yes. The entire analysis runs in your browser, there is no upload and no account. Your salary data stays on your device - with figures like these that is crucial.
