How to read this estimate

Taxes use your estimated effective combined income and payroll tax rate, not your marginal bracket. This is not a tax-return or withholding calculation. Benefit premiums are deducted after estimated taxes; reflect pretax deductions in your effective rate.

Noncash employer benefits are shown separately from spendable cash. Value only benefits you expect to receive, accounting for vesting and eligibility. Bonus amounts are assumptions, not guaranteed pay.

Enter comparable housing, childcare and other living costs for both locations. Hourly comparisons include work and commute time; they do not put a value on lifestyle or job security.
