Stop comparing salaries.Compare the life your job actually costs.

Look past base salary. Add bonus, employer retirement match, and the cash value of benefits, then subtract what each job costs you — health premiums, commuting, and job-related expenses. Divide that by the hours the job actually takes, including commute time, to get an effective hourly value you can compare directly.

It starts from base pay and adds the parts of the package with real value — bonus, employer retirement match, benefits and equity, and the value of your PTO days at your daily pay rate. Then it subtracts what the job costs you: health premiums, commuting, work expenses, and the value of the hours you spend commuting. Every result has a 'How is this calculated?' panel with the assumptions.

The retirement match is the match percentage times salary. Other benefits and equity use the annual cash value you enter (equity is the grant divided by its vesting years). PTO is valued at your daily pay rate multiplied by your PTO days — it's a comparison aid, not extra cash.

Total compensation. Two jobs with the same salary can differ by thousands of dollars a year once you count a 401(k) match, health premiums, bonus, and commuting costs. Salary is the starting point, not the answer.
