Frequently Asked Questions

What is ExemptPay?

ExemptPay is a compensation benchmarking tool built specifically for nonprofits. It generates board-ready reports using real IRS Form 990 data and Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data — giving you peer-matched salary benchmarks and variance analysis in minutes instead of weeks.

How much does ExemptPay cost?

Salary lookups are free — unlimited, no account required. Board-ready compensation reports start at $149 (one-time purchase, not a subscription). That's less than a single hour with most compensation consultants.

What data does ExemptPay use?

3.27 million compensation records from IRS Form 990 filings (Schedule J and Part VII) covering 330,000+ nonprofit organizations across all 50 states, plus Bureau of Labor Statistics occupational wage data for 800+ job categories. All data is public and verifiable.

How is ExemptPay different from hiring a compensation consultant?

Traditional consultants charge $5,000–$15,000 and take weeks. ExemptPay uses the same public IRS data to generate a comparable report in minutes for a fraction of the cost. For most nonprofits doing annual reviews, it provides the peer comparison data boards need to make informed compensation decisions.

What is the IRS rebuttable presumption of reasonableness?

A safe harbor under IRC Section 4958: if a board uses comparability data from similar organizations, makes an independent decision, and documents both the data and reasoning contemporaneously, compensation is presumed reasonable unless the IRS proves otherwise. ExemptPay provides the comparability data that can help inform this process. Consult your attorney or CPA for formal compliance guidance.
