Formula
Adjusted annual value = salary + bonus + benefits value - monthly commute or benefit costs x 12. Effective hourly estimate = adjusted annual value / annual working hours.
Job Offer Comparison Calculator
Compare two offers beyond the headline salary by checking benefits, commute costs and extra hours.
How to use the result
Use this as a comparison scratchpad. Enter values you can defend, such as written salary, expected bonus, employer contributions, commute costs and hours that are genuinely likely.
Useful caution
This does not calculate taxes or decide career fit. Culture, commute reliability, flexibility, pension rules, healthcare costs, risk and progression may matter more than the simple adjusted value.
Using the Job Offer Comparison Calculator well
Compare two offers beyond the headline salary by checking benefits, commute costs and extra hours. Enter realistic values, calculate the first answer, then change one input at a time so you can see which assumption moves the result most.
What to compare
Run a normal case, a cautious case and a stretched case. If the cautious case still works, the number is more useful. If one assumption changes the result sharply, verify that input before relying on the answer.
Before you act
This calculator is a planning aid. It cannot check whether the inputs are complete, current or suitable for a decision with financial, legal, medical, safety or tax consequences.
