Explanation
ค่า means cost, value, or fee, and ตอบแทน means to repay or compensate. Together, ค่าตอบแทน refers to payment or benefits given in return for something. It sounds neutral and somewhat formal, so it is common in job postings, contracts, HR, business, and official contexts. It is broader than เงินเดือน, which specifically means a monthly salary.
Usage
This word is common in job ads, employment contracts, freelance agreements, HR policies, paid talks, training sessions, research participation, and other situations where payment for work or cooperation is being discussed. มีค่าตอบแทนไหม is a natural way to ask whether something is paid.
Caution
By itself, ค่าตอบแทน does not specify whether the payment is monthly, hourly, daily, or a one-time fee. Add terms such as รายเดือน, รายชั่วโมง, or อัตราค่าตอบแทน when the payment structure needs to be clear.
