Job Offer Comparison Calculator
Compare two job offers including salary, bonus, benefits, 401k match, commute cost and hours. See the true value of each offer.
About this tool
Two offers rarely differ in one dimension. This calculator totals salary plus bonus and benefits, then converts both to an effective hourly rate using real working hours.
The result often surprises: an $8,000 lower salary with better benefits and sane hours can be worth more — and buying back five hours a week is value no paycheck line shows.
FAQ
How do I compare offers fairly?
Add salary, bonus, 401k match, insurance value and equity, then divide by actual working hours. A higher salary with 50-hour weeks can pay less per hour.
What benefits are easy to undervalue?
Health insurance contributions, 401k match percentages, paid leave, remote flexibility and commute costs — often $10-20k of real value.
Should I negotiate?
Almost always. Data-backed asks (market rates, competing offers) succeed far more often than open requests.
