How we calculate this
Pay Volatility Score
This measures how much of the typical IBM package is stock and bonus rather than guaranteed base pay, based on the median split across 39 self-reported submissions. At 1/10, pay here is mostly fixed — most of what you're offered is what you'll actually see, with limited upside or downside from bonus cycles and vesting.
Equity Score
This isolates stock alone (not bonus) as a share of the typical IBM package, based on the median across 39 self-reported submissions — so you can tell whether "variable pay" here is real equity upside or just a cash bonus. At 1/10, equity is a small part of the package — most of the variable pay you see elsewhere on this page is bonus, not stock.
Get Rich Score
This ranks IBM's median CTC of ₹24L against every other company in our dataset with enough submissions to compare. A score of 4/10 puts IBM solidly mid-market — competitive, but not the top payer for similar roles.
Pay Spread Score
This measures how wide the gap is between the P25 and P75 CTC at IBM, relative to its own median — a sign of how negotiation-dependent pay is here rather than how much you'll actually be paid. At 9/10, pay varies widely between the lower and upper quartile — offers here look highly dependent on negotiation, level, or track rather than a fixed band.
