What Carta Total Compensation is

Carta Total Compensation provides private-market salary and equity benchmarks organized by role, level, and region. It is designed for compensation planning, hiring, retention, and forecasting, including tracking whether spending is above or below plan. Carta says the dataset contains over 40,000 unique data points and that covered roles expand quarterly. Companies can plan employee grants, create personalized equity-pool forecasts, and use real-time compensation analytics. Offer letters and total reward statements show employees their salary and equity compensation. Supported functions include compensation benchmarking, scenario modeling, headcount forecasting, benefits management, and employee self-service. Carta cap-table customers can access real-time employee equity holdings and equity-planning recommendations, while companies with other cap-table systems can also use the product. HRIS integrations can streamline equity planning. Total Compensation is a web product sold separately as an add-on with paid Build, Grow, and Scale equity-management plans. Pricing is available on request. Carta was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in San Francisco.
