Compare more than salary

Most job-offer comparisons start and end with annual salary. That can miss the parts of a job that determine how much of your time and money you really keep.

JobWorthCalculator compares offers using effective yearly income, total annual job time, direct job costs and true hourly value.

What to enter for each job

Base pay and any genuinely guaranteed annual bonus
Paid weekly hours
Unpaid overtime
Paid leave
Commute time, commute frequency and commute cost
Recurring personal work expenses

Do not count uncertain bonuses as guaranteed income. It is better to compare a conservative offer with your current job and then treat variable compensation as upside.

A simple example

Imagine Job B pays more than Job A but adds several unpaid hours each week and doubles the commute. The annual pay can rise while the true hourly value falls. That is exactly the kind of trade-off the comparison tool is designed to expose.

Use the same currency

The current comparison tool does not perform foreign-exchange conversion. For a direct comparison, enter both jobs in the same currency.
