New Job / Offer
We prefill your current values so you only need to change what differs.
Tip: if the new job has the same hours, leave, tax situation or costs as your current job, leave the prefilled value unchanged.
PAY
How are you paid?
Use the same before/after-tax basis as the income above. Variable or uncertain bonuses should be left out.
Is that pay before or after tax?

DEMO ONLYTest the job-search experience with fictional listings. No result below is a live vacancy, and no third-party job content is being copied or scraped.
Demo mode uses fictional employers and salary bands only to test the interface.
Before public launch: this demo provider will be replaced with a licensed jobs API through a secure
/api/jobs endpoint. Live listings will show their source, link back to the original advert, and use only fields permitted by the provider.
The financial floor and negotiation targets are calculated from the inputs you provided. They do not account for unentered benefits, equity, career progression, job security, workplace culture or personal preferences, and they are not a recommendation to accept or reject an offer.
