Questions about pay at Gusto
How much does Gusto pay?
Across 74 pay ranges in its job posts over the last year, Gusto’s median published range is $163k – $204k (United States). Pay varies by role and level; see the tables above.
Where does this data come from?
Only from pay ranges Gusto publishes in its own job posts, read hourly from its hiring system and kept for 12 months after a job closes. No surveys or self-reported salaries.
Does it include equity, bonus or commission?
Usually not. Published ranges are mostly base salary. Sales roles often add commission, and many companies add equity, so total pay is higher. Self-reported sites show total compensation, which is why their figures differ.
Why don’t all jobs show a salary?
Pay-transparency laws require ranges in job posts in US states such as California, New York, Colorado and Washington, but not in most other countries yet, so coverage outside the US is lower.
