Method: Each annual value adds salary, expected bonus, and the separately entered employer health, retirement, and other contributions, then subtracts commute cost. The per-hour view uses entered paid schedule and PTO.

Employer contributions are not interchangeable with cash; enter the employer-paid annual value, not total premium or account balance. Bonuses may not be guaranteed and retirement may vest. Compare deductibles, networks, match rules, equity terms, leave, commute time, role scope, stability, and personal priorities separately.

How this tool works

Each annual value adds salary, entered bonus, and employer-paid benefits, then subtracts commute cost. A separate scheduled-hour view divides that value by paid weekly hours minus PTO hours.

Assumptions

Each offer uses annual salary, bonus, employer-paid benefit value, commute cost, PTO, and schedule entries. Entered benefits are planning values, not cash equivalents.

Limits to know

Only entered compensation items are compared, and estimated benefits may not equal cash. Vesting, taxes, retirement matches, location, hours, risk, and contract terms require separate review.
