GoDaddy 2023 Sustainability Report: Our Employees | Pay Parity
Originally published in GoDaddy's 2023 Sustainability Report
Pay Parity
A critical part of building a more inclusive and equitable company is ensuring that employees are paid fairly for doing the same kind of work, regardless of demographics. Reporting pay parity data shows our current and prospective employees that we’re committed to equal pay for equal work.
In 2015, GoDaddy was among the first companies to announce and publish our pay parity results, and we’re proud to achieve gender pay parity (globally) for the ninth year in a row and ethnicity pay parity (in the U.S.) for the seventh year in a row.1
While GoDaddy’s pay parity target is $1.00 for $1.00, a few cents on either side of a dollar is considered an equitable result. This is due to the analysis being a single point in time data set, which includes total compensation awarded, such as annual bonuses and equity grants, all of which are variable and impacted by employee performance.
In 2023, we continued to partner with a third-party expert to execute a multivariate regression analysis that accounts for variables like performance and length of time in a role, which are considered reasonable explanations for differences in pay.2 This supports our efforts in applying appropriate and accepted methods and standards to our analysis and mitigations.
Gender Compensation Data
GoDaddy-wide, for every $1.00 a man makes, a woman makes the same. We continually achieve pay parity for men and women globally across various career levels and for non-binary employees as well.3

U.S. Race and Ethnicity Compensation Data
Our U.S. pay data shows that at the company level, for every $1.00 a white employee earns, an employee of color earns $1.01. In 2023, while we achieved pay parity across multiple career levels, we found that pay varies by employee ethnic group in the U.S.4 We continue to study the data to understand how we compensate employees from different underrepresented groups to ensure fairness.
