Compare job offers by what they are worth in a year
The offer with the highest base salary is not always the one that pays most. Bonus, equity, a retirement match, extra days off and a daily commute can change which offer comes out on top. Enter two or three offers and see them side by side: yearly value, first-year value with the sign-on bonus, and pay per day you actually work.

Enter the base salary of each offer. Add bonus, equity and benefits where you know them; leave the rest empty.
How the offers are compared
yearly value = base + bonus + equity vesting per year + retirement match + other benefits − commute costfirst-year value = yearly value + sign-on bonus, because the sign-on bonus is paid oncedays worked = 260 − paid days off(52 weeks of 5 days)commute cost = commute days per week × cost per day × days worked ÷ 5value per day worked = yearly value ÷ days worked: more leave at the same salary shows up here
A bonus typed as “10%” is taken as a percent of base. Everything is before tax. Equity is counted at the value you enter: for a private company that is an estimate, not cash.
Questions about the job offer comparison
How do I compare two job offers?
Put everything on a yearly basis and add it up: base salary, expected bonus, the equity that vests in a year, the employer’s retirement contribution and other benefits, minus what the commute costs. Then weigh what is not money: the work, the manager, the room to grow.
How should I value equity in an offer?
Use what vests in one year, at a value you can defend. For a listed company that is shares per year times the share price. For a startup the value is uncertain and the shares cannot be sold freely, so compare the offers both with the equity and with it set to zero.
Does a sign-on bonus count toward the yearly value?
No. It is paid once, so it is shown on its own line and added only to the first-year value. An offer that wins only because of its sign-on bonus pays less from the second year on.
How are paid days off taken into account?
They change the pay per day you actually work. The calculator starts from 260 working days a year, subtracts your paid days off and divides the yearly value by the rest, so more leave at the same salary shows up as a higher value per day worked.
