The Carta Total Compensation microapp is a persistent benchmarking tool that saves your settings and filters, so compensation teams and founders can pick up where they left off each session.

What it is

The new Carta Total Compensation microapp gives you a persistent benchmarking tool. Save settings and filters, and they carry over automatically each session. Employee scorecards show each person's compa-ratio and market positioning. You can switch peer groups (for example, from post-money valuation to capital raised), toggle equity display (percentage, notional value, and shares), and filter by job area to focus on specific functions.

Why it matters

Compensation teams and founders reviewing offers and talent compensation packages can compare against the peer group that fits their stage without resetting filters each session. When benchmarking needs change, ask Claude to add new calculations and the app updates and remembers the change.

How it works

In the Cap Table Plugin, start by telling Claude to build a Carta Total Compensation microapp for your company. You can also ask for additional benchmarks, like adding P60 data, and the app updates and remembers the change for future sessions. Plus, export benchmarks and scorecards to CSV for further analysis.
