Which offer leaves me better off?

Compare spendable pay, benefits, commuting time and moving costs.

  1. Compare complete offers

    Enter each offer’s pay, realistic bonus, estimated effective taxes, benefit costs and living costs. Keep noncash benefits separate.

    Compare two job offers
  2. Fund the transition

    Separate moving costs, deposits and time between paychecks from the emergency cushion.

    Plan transition savings
  3. Look beyond this year

    Compare assumed raises with inflation. Return to the salary tool and test a smaller bonus or a more expensive commute.
