Summary (TL;DR)
Buffer, a company that values radical transparency, publicly shares its salary formula and all team members' individual salaries. The formula is based on job type, seniority, experience, and location, with an option to choose more equity or +$10K salary. Salaries range from $45,000 for a happiness hero to $75,000 for an executive officer base, with additional multipliers and location adjustments. The company also publishes revenues, user numbers, and internal emails, and uses tools like IDoneThis for personal improvement tracking. Buffer expects to iterate on the formula over time.
