ALA's Compensation and Benefits Survey is the most comprehensive law firm salary survey and benefits report that ALA puts together annually. ALA's Salary Calculator is an added benefit for those who purchased our 2025 reports. The salary calculator allows you to receive personalized results by position based on specific inputs such as location, experience and firm size — saving time and hassle.
You'll gain insight into data from 200+ law firms answering for nearly 1,000 locations nationwide with more than 400 pages of information to serve as an essential tool for determining compensation and benefits for your firm's staff. Data is further broken down by region, state and metro area, making it even easier to compare your firm against competitors.
Prepare your budget for the year ahead. The survey has the information you need to get started:
Does your firm have 100+ attorneys?
The Large Firm Key Staff Survey bundle is just what you need! The bundle includes our annual Compensation and Benefits Survey plus the Large Firm Key Staff Survey that contains data specifically for director-level and C-suite positions in large law firms.
Note: The surveys are available in PDF only. We do not have an excel format available due to antitrust concerns.
The salary calculator is included in the purchase of the survey report. A login is required so please be sure to log in using the same login used to purchase the survey (not the login used for participating in the survey).
If you purchased additional keys to the calculator, please note that individual calculator access will be assigned to those identified and those individuals will need to login with their own separate login.
