Hong Life CalculatorsHow it works
Every listed Korean company reports “average pay per employee” in the employee section of its annual business report on DART: total pay (salary and bonuses) paid during the year ÷ average number of employees. This page compares that figure with your salary. Years to reach = ln(average ÷ your pay) ÷ ln(1 + raise). The DART average mixes all ages, job grades and tenures and includes bonuses paid in that year, so it is usually well above a new hire’s salary.
