Understand, prove, and improve your market value.
PayYako is building a living Career Passport for African professionals: salary intelligence, career guidance, verified work evidence, and a professional identity that improves as the person grows. Salary transparency is the acquisition wedge, not the end product.
Make professional value understandable, provable, and portable.
Professionals should not have to rebuild their career story for every application. PayYako combines anonymous market evidence with an individual-controlled record of skills, achievements, credentials, and verified experience.
What we believe
Privacy by design
Anonymous salary submissions stay separate from Career Passport identity. Professionals control whether a profile is private, unlisted, or public.
Evidence over opinion
Community benchmarks pass moderation and a minimum-sample threshold. Cold-start AI estimates are labelled as directional while that evidence grows.
Built for every market
Multi-currency conversion, role taxonomies, and city- and market-level breakdowns reflect how people actually earn — from local pay to remote and global rates.
Community-powered
Every benchmark starts with an anonymous contributor. The more people participate, the sharper the market signal becomes for everyone.
How it works
Contribute anonymously
Share your role, experience, location, and gross monthly pay. No sign-up, no names, no employer details.
We moderate & normalize
Submissions are matched to a role taxonomy, converted to a standard currency, and reviewed by moderation rules before approval.
Everyone benefits
Once a group reaches the publication threshold, its median, range, and sample size go live for workers and employers alike.
