Below is a high-level look at national total salary budget increases from the 2009-10 survey, which closed in early May 2009. All data in this summary is reported in averages (means) and zero-percent responses are included. Additional industry and geographic breakout information that can be customized in countless ways is included in the new online data reporting tool, SBS Online, which will be available with the full survey results in early August.

Merit Increases Awarded, by Performance Category
*Because respondents were asked to share data for low performers receiving a merit increase separate from those not receiving an increase, this figure does not include zero-percent responses. It is likely that the average for low performers would be slightly lower if all data for low performers was calculated together, including zero-percent responses.
