For more than 60 years, we’ve focused exclusively on helping clients resolve their workforce globalization challenges. Our extensive experience makes AIRINC the authority on rewarding talent across borders.
In an era of globalized business, transferring talent across borders to fill knowledge and skill gaps is essential to success. AIRINC offers the data, expertise, and technology that help companies compensate, motivate, and retain talent.
From cost of living differences and housing costs to hypothetical taxes and per diems, we collect and analyze our own data in more locations than anyone else.
Our Advisory Services team uses a collaborative process to create mobility programs tailored to each client’s unique characteristics and business objectives.
Our technology delivers configurable solutions that seamlessly integrate our extensive background in data analysis with workforce globalization needs.
Superior dataWe collect and analyze our own data to ensure the
high quality and global coverage that enable us to
offer a comprehensive range of data solutions to
meet every mobility need. Our surveyors are full-
time AIRINC employees who obtain firsthand
knowledge of hundreds of locations, allowing us to
offer more home-to-host transfer combinations
than any other provider.
Unrivaled serviceWe pride ourselves on providing rapid service, but
not at the expense of understanding the context and
challenges the solution must satisfy. That’s why each
AIRINC client is supported by a dedicated team
with a comprehensive understanding of that client’s
unique mobility objectives, assignee demographics,
and industry practices.
Tailored solutionsBecause clients sending a first assignee abroad
have different needs from those with thousands of
assignees and multiple mobility policies, we offer
both standard and custom solutions. AIRINC’s
combination of flexibility, comprehensive data tools,
and a wide range of delivery formats allows us to
deliver a best-fit solution for each of our clients.
“Their knowledge and can-do attitude have made AIRINC my go-to source whenever I have a question or need data.”

About AIRINC
Since 1954With more than 900 clients globally, including half
the Fortune 100, AIRINC has long been viewed as
the business partner best equipped to solve cross-
border compensation issues. Our extensive on-site
cost of living data collection, rigorous analytics,
experienced consultants, and unparalleled service
make us uniquely qualified to help companies
navigate the complexity of talent mobility and reward.
Looking aheadAs the market evolves, AIRINC finds innovative
ways to help clients address new workforce
globalization challenges, such as decision support
tools for cost-effective compensation solutions,
mobility program assessment metrics, and the
measurement of reward competitiveness across a
borderless pay landscape.
Accurate, defensible data is the foundation of any effective
mobility program. We offer targeted data solutions using a
variety of tools and formats to meet your unique needs.
Excess cost protectionWe offer the most accurate and reliable cost of living
differentials for any home-to-host combination. Our
defensible COLA recommendations are supported by
materials ranging from survey outlet lists to inflation
and exchange rate change reports.
Housing program managementOur International Housing Guide helps you manage
costs, reduce exceptions, and set assignee expectations.
It provides housing and utilities budgets tailored to your
needs, along with comprehensive location details,
including rent-by-area grids, rental standards, and
neighborhood reports.
Program cost projectionOur Assignment Cost Estimator enables you to compare
packages, generate what-if scenarios, and measure the
impact of policy changes. You can generate home- and
host-based assignment estimates in minutes powered by
our own tax, cost of living, housing, education, and other
assignment-related data.
Assignee compensation managementOur Balance Sheet Manager lets you instantly create
custom-configured balance sheets, including elements
such as hypothetical income tax, goods and services,
housing, and automobile costs. Balance sheets can be
updated automatically as survey data and exchange
rates change.
Localization assessmentOur suite of host-based tools– including the Permanent
Transfer Calculator and the Local Plus Calculator
– empowers you to evaluate packages for expatriate
localizations, permanent moves, and cross-border hires.
Education allowancesOur Education Reports summarize cost information
for a representative list of international schools in a
given city, helping you maintain objectivity and improve
cost estimation while eliminating the need to do ad hoc
research. Each report comes with a city map showing
school locations.
Challenging locationsWe provide Hardship Evaluations for hundreds of
locations worldwide and help our clients translate the
hardship scores into meaningful allowances.
Data
Tax impact assessmentOur tax solutions improve the effectiveness of your
assignee packages and make it easier to assess
options. Our International Tax Guide delivers statistical,
hypothetical, and gross-up tax and social insurance data as
well as detailed tax summaries and algorithms.
Business travel and short-term assignmentsOur Per Diem Calculator provides accommodation, living
cost, and transportation budgets for business and house-
hunting trips, temporary living, and short-term assignments.
Airfare allowancesCompanies often struggle to find the most effective way
to determine, administer, and update home leave benefits.
Many companies, particularly those with larger programs,
are moving toward cash allowances to give assignees
flexibility and reduce the need for administrative support.
The AIRINC Airfare Database facilitates home leave cash
allowances by providing reasonable fare data backed by an
objective and rigorous methodology.
Policy and industry benchmarksUnderstanding how your mobility policy compares
with those of your peer group is key to maintaining your
competitiveness and providing insights into your
program. We use policy and industry benchmarks to
help ensure that your program is as competitive and
effective as possible.
Compensation for borderless talentGlobal pay harmonization and increasing international
competition for talent have yielded a “borderless” labor
market that is overlooked by traditional compensation
surveys. Our Borderless 100 Pay Database is an
innovative approach to assessing compensation for this
important group to help you stay competitive.
We collect and analyze our own data, for more locations than anyone else. We offer a wide range of delivery options for our data solutions, supported by an experienced team dedicated to your program.
“Our AIRINC team is extremely knowledgeable and supportive. Working with them is a pleasure.”

determine your current market standing. We can also help
redesign your program for better alignment with your
desired market position and organizational needs.
Mobility policy developmentWe can write a new policy, rewrite an existing one to make
it current and competitive, introduce new policy types, or
employ tiered compensation models based on assignment
value. Your new policy framework will better support your
evolving program and balance your needs for flexibility and
resolution.
Securing a mandate for changeSecuring buy-in from key stakeholders is a critical step in
obtaining a mandate for change. We can help you compose
and present targeted messaging that facilitates discussion,
builds consensus, and drives program evolution.
Program launchingOne of the challenges of completing a mobility program
review is implementing proposed changes. Our consultants
craft targeted communications and training materials that
help you launch your new program effectively.

International Assignment Launch Toolkit provides
