Total compensation was calculated using the UW System Total Compensation Estimator (https://www.wisconsin.edu/ohrwd/benefits/totalcomp/). The figure used for reporting utilized the lowest hourly wage for a permanent UW-Madison employee with the lowest cost health insurance option (HMO or Regional PPO, Single Enrollment). In addition to health insurance, the total compensation calculator includes the value of Retirement and Social Security / Medicare benefits.
