Benchmark equity packages against today's market
Make equity decisions grounded in live benchmarks from new-hire grant values, refresh patterns, one-year TDC, and vesting norms.
"The survey says this role should get 5% of base in equity. That can't be right."
The case
Why this comes up
Equity benchmarking is one of the biggest challenges in compensation. Two companies can both be 'at market' and have packages that look nothing alike. Compa Stock gives you live equity benchmarks so you can see what's happening in the market.
Business problem
Equity comp is subject to board-level scrutiny. Finance and leadership ask comp teams to justify grant levels, model program costs, and prove the spend is defensible. Without current benchmarks, the company risks overspending or employee attrition.
WHY LIVE DATA MATTERS HERE
Compa Stock is built from stock-administration systems of record, not self-reported surveys, so the benchmarks reflect what companies actually grant.
What you get
- Live new-hire grant benchmarks by role, level, and geo.
- Refresh and retention context that lets you benchmark your annual program against peers.
- One-year TDC comparisons that account for vesting structure.
- Vesting structure norms show front-loaded vs. ratable distribution.
- Incumbent vesting views let you see what's vesting over the next 12 months.
- Pay-mix trend data by function shows whether equity participation is rising or declining in your key job families.
What this replaces
- Pulling equity data from surveys that report in % of base instead of grant values.
- Manual normalization across different vesting structures to make fair comparisons.
- Anecdotal equity benchmarking based on recruiter feedback or a handful of offers.
- Updating grant targets that haven't been touched since the last formal refresh.
- Going into equity discussions without current data to defend the program.
- Redesigning equity programs without confirming where the market moved.
