See what the offer is really worth.
Salary is one line on the offer letter. Weigh the whole package, your current role against a new one, on equal footing and in real dollars.
Start with salary and bonus.
Enter your current pay and the new offer. For bonus, use last year's actual figure against a realistic expectation, not the ceiling.
What the drive actually costs.
Fuel and wear add up over a year. Enter the round trip and how often each role lets you work from home. Maintenance is estimated at ten cents a mile.
Coverage is part of the paycheck.
Compare what each employer puts toward your coverage against what comes out of your own pay each year.
Match and fees compound.
A higher match and lower fees change the picture over a career. The match below is valued as a percent of each role's salary.
Days off carry a dollar value.
Vacation, holidays, and sick days are paid time. Enter them in days; each is valued at the role's daily rate.
The line items that get overlooked.
Add the annual value of any allowance or benefit each role provides. Leave a line at zero if it does not apply.
The full picture.
Adjust for a change in cost of living.
If the new role means a move, enter the difference in cost of living. Use a positive number for a more expensive area and a negative one for cheaper. A reference is at bestplaces.net.
