Why Total Compensation Matters More Than Salary

A job offer with a $15,000 higher salary can actually be worth less than your current role when you account for equity vesting, 401(k) matching, PTO value, and commute costs. Total compensation is the sum of every financial benefit you receive from an employer, not just the number on your paycheck.

This calculator helps you compare up to three job offers across every compensation component. It weights each factor, projects equity vesting over four years, and calculates the true annual value of each offer so you can make smarter career decisions.

What This Calculator Includes

Frequently Asked Questions

What is total compensation?

Total compensation (total comp or TC) is the complete value of everything your employer provides in exchange for your work. It includes base salary, bonuses, equity grants, benefits, retirement contributions, PTO, and any other financial perks. In tech, total comp can be 30 to 60 percent higher than base salary alone.

How do I calculate the value of RSUs?

RSUs (Restricted Stock Units) are valued at the current stock price multiplied by the number of shares granted. Most RSU grants vest over four years with a one-year cliff, meaning 25% vests after year one and the rest vests quarterly or monthly. This calculator accounts for standard vesting schedules.

Should I negotiate total comp or just salary?

Negotiate total comp. Companies often have strict salary bands but more flexibility on signing bonuses, equity refreshes, PTO, and start dates. Understanding your total comp gives you leverage to negotiate the components where the company has room to move.
