How the job offer comparison calculator works
Enter annual figures for salary, expected bonus, and your own estimated benefits value. PTO reduces estimated working weeks when calculating an effective hourly comparison.
The higher stated package is identified, while both totals and hourly figures remain visible. This supports a decision; it cannot value culture, risk, commute, growth, or flexibility for you.
Worked example
Offer A at $90,000 salary, $5,000 bonus, and $12,000 benefits totals $107,000. At 40 hours and 15 PTO days it implies 49 working weeks, or $54.59 per scheduled working hour.
Assumptions and practical limits
Benefits estimates are subjective and may not be portable or fully used. A dollar entered for insurance or equity is not guaranteed cash.
Bonuses may be discretionary and equity may vest or lose value. Compare guaranteed and uncertain portions separately before deciding.
Frequently asked questions
How should I value benefits?
Use a conservative personal estimate based on benefits you expect to use, not the employer’s marketing total.
Does PTO increase annual compensation?
It does not add dollars here; it reduces scheduled working time in the hourly comparison.
What important factors are missing?
Taxes, commute, remote flexibility, job security, equity risk, promotion prospects, and workplace fit are not quantified.
