Job Offer Comparison Calculator

Enter two offers. We convert everything into annual value and an effective hourly rate (accounting for commute time and vacation), so you can compare apples to apples.

How this calculator works

Total annual value = base + expected bonus + (equity grant ÷ vesting years) + employer retirement match + other cash benefits − your share of health premiums − commute cost.

Effective hourly rate divides that value by hours you actually give the job: (weekly hours + weekly commute hours) × (52 − weeks of PTO and holidays). Two offers with the same salary can differ by 20% here.

HR tip: the employer's retirement match is only "free money" if you contribute enough to get it. Bonus targets are not guarantees — ask what percentage of target was actually paid out the last two years.
