Along the fields of administration and particularly the human resource management, highlights of great importance are growing around the study of intangible assets, on the pursuit of a quantitative overall analysis on the competitive environment, that entails the professional´s performance on their workplace, through the quantification of the Intellectual Capital.

Therefore, this research seeks the monetized valuation of the Intellectual Capital, under the software developer sector, allocated in the city of Tegucigalpa Francisco Morazán, in order to determine if the professionals in the branch of engineering that work in the category previously mentioned, earn a congruent monthly salary in relation to their Intellectual Capital (IC). Despite the use of a mixed approach (Cualitative and Cuantitative Scope) towards this study, who obeyed a non experimiental design, the results obtained unveil that the professionals previously mentioned, earn a salary who underestimates their current competences in around 22,000 lempiras.
