The Global Compensation Software Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period (2024-2031).

Compensation software is a specialized Human Capital Management (HCM) solution that enables organizations to plan, budget, administer, and analyze employee compensation. It moves beyond spreadsheets to automate processes related to salaries, bonuses, equity awards, commissions, and total rewards statements. These platforms often incorporate market data, ensure pay equity compliance, and provide modeling tools to help businesses design competitive and fair compensation strategies that attract and retain talent.
