What is Founder Salary Calculator?
Six years after the initial release of the P9 Founder Salary Calculator, we've joined forces with Figures to release a new version, updating the methodology and adjusting it based on market data from more than 700 data points collected across Europe.
Problem
As founders navigate starting and running a business, determining an appropriate salary for themselves often proves challenging, complicated by a lack of updated, reliable market data to guide them. The main drawbacks are the uncertainty and potential financial instability caused by not knowing how much to pay themselves.
Solution
A new version of the Founder Salary Calculator, developed in collaboration with Figures, provides an updated tool to help founders determine a suitable salary based on more than 700 data points collected across Europe.

Market Size
