2021 BRM Benchmarking Compensation Analysis Report

The 2021 BRM Benchmarking® Compensation Report is based on the responses of BRM professionals across the globe, during the timeframe of February 2020 to December 2021. Interestingly, one of many findings from the report revealed that Business Relationship Managers average compensation is just over $120,000 USD, an increase of over 12% from the 2019 compensation report. 

"BRM Institute's interactive BRM Benchmarking capability is the definitive review and analysis of BRM-related practices, performance, and impact across the globe. We will continue to build, expand, and improve this program over time providing organizations a means to find value and leverage the wisdom of their global communities, allowing them to make informed decisions based on quantifiable data." – Aaron Barnes, CEO BRM Institute 

BRM Institute would like to thank every benchmark participant who contributed towards an improved understanding of current BRM compensation trends, as well as Jeff Warren, Barkley Consulting Group for their sponsorship of this research and their continued support of the global BRM community.  

The BRM Benchmarking program will continue indefinitely, each year collecting additional information to reveal comparison trends over time.

By participating year-over-year, you will witness the trends in your situation, your industry, and across the profession as a whole. The BRM Benchmarking program is open to everyone who performs the BRM role, to any degree, in the nature of their work. All participants can perform comparative analysis immediately upon answering the benchmarking questions. The BRM Benchmarking Program increases in value as more BRMs answer the benchmark questions, so help yourself while helping the single global BRM community and add your entry into the benchmark today!
