What is this tool?
The Job Offer Comparison Calculator compares recurring and first-year compensation, then blends financial value with PTO, commute, growth, and flexibility using your chosen priority weighting.
Formula used
Recurring value = Salary + Bonus + Annualized equity + Benefits - Annual costs; overall score blends normalized recurring value with lifestyle and growth scores
Example calculation
Compare base pay, bonus, annualized equity, benefits, sign-on, annual costs, PTO, weekly commute, growth, and flexibility. A 70% financial priority gives recurring value more influence than lifestyle factors.
When should you use it?
Use it when choosing between offers, evaluating a counteroffer, or deciding if a higher salary is offset by commute, benefits, or bonus differences.
Common mistakes
Financial value is only one part of an offer. Also consider manager quality, growth, work-life balance, visa needs, and role fit.
