Methodology
Local salary figures are representative fully-loaded monthly costs for each role in the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia, based on HelpLyncs' market research across current staffing and salary benchmarks. HelpLyncs rates are our published, flat, all-inclusive monthly prices in USD. Savings percentages compare the HelpLyncs rate to the US local figure and exclude additional employer costs such as payroll taxes, benefits, PTO, equipment, and recruitment fees — which would widen the gap further. Figures are indicative and last updated July 7, 2026.
