    How the conversion works

    One pivot, not twenty pairings

    Every scheme is mapped to one analytical scale, gradar grades 1 to 25, and never directly to another scheme. A conversion finds the grades a level covers and returns every level in the target scheme that shares them. Comparing schemes pair by pair compounds error; a shared pivot does not.

    Two tracks

    Most schemes run a management track and a specialist or support track. Where a target scheme has both, the converter shows each, leading with the track of the level you started from.

    Ranges, not single answers

    Schemes cut the ladder in different places, so one level often converts to two. The closest single level is the one whose grade range overlaps most.

    Confidence varies by scheme

    The full table carries the source author's rating of each mapping. Croner is still in validation and its specialist ranks are inferred from rank descriptions. Croner ranks also run in reverse: rank 0 is the most senior.

    Executive levels

    Above gradar grade 25, roles are sized individually. Korn Ferry marks these as reference level 99. Several schemes map their executive levels as one block, so they convert to a range.

    What is left out

    Hay points and Mercer IPE position classes are not covered. Nor are industry-specific tracks for sales, medical, life sciences and financial services, or project-management tracks.

    Questions

    How do I convert a WTW Global Grade to a Korn Ferry Hay reference level?

    Choose WTW Global Grade and the grade in the converter, then pick Korn Ferry Hay as the target. For example, WTW Global Grade 15 converts to Hay reference levels 18–20, which sits at Lumi level Senior Manager.

    What is the Mercer equivalent of Radford M4?

    Radford M4 (Senior Manager / Associate Director) is equivalent to Mercer M3–M5 on the management track. It sits at Lumi level Senior Manager.

    Which WTW Global Grade is Croner rank 3?

    Croner rank 3 is equivalent to WTW Global Grade 13–14. Croner ranks run in reverse, so rank 0 is the most senior.

    Does this convert Hay points or Mercer IPE position classes?

    No. Korn Ferry is mapped as Hay reference levels and Mercer as career levels, because those are what the source maps. Hay points and IPE position classes are not covered.

    Where do the mappings come from?

    Every scheme is mapped to gradar grades 1 to 25 in the Compensation Survey Rosetta Stone, gradar Edition, version 2026.1, by Philipp Schuch, published under CC BY 4.0. Lumi levels are bands of those grades. Schemes are never mapped directly to each other.

    Can I download the full table?

    Yes. The Excel and CSV files hold every level in every scheme with its equivalents. Both are free to use under CC BY 4.0, provided you keep the attribution.

    How accurate is it?

    It is a guide for orienting a levelling or benchmarking exercise, not a job match. Confidence varies by scheme and is shown beside each one. Confirm any single match against the provider’s current job-matching guidance.

    About Lumi

    Lumi benchmarks the reward package beyond base pay, from pension and leave to incentives and wellbeing, against real UK employers. Its seven job levels are how members compare like with like. If your organisation already grades jobs in one of these schemes, the converter shows which Lumi level each grade belongs to.

    Lumi is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any provider named on this page. Scheme names and level codes belong to their owners.
