Total Comp = Salary + Bonus + 401k Match + Health Benefits + PTO Value − Commute Costs
PTO Value = Days × (Salary ÷ 260 working days)
Consider base salary, bonus, equity/stock, health insurance, 401k match, PTO, commute costs, remote work savings, and career growth potential.
For public companies, use current market value × shares. For startups, it's speculative — apply a discount (e.g., 20-30% of stated value) based on risk.
Not necessarily. A $90k job with great benefits, 401k match, and no commute can beat a $100k job with minimal perks and a long daily commute.
A 50% match up to 6% of a $100k salary is worth $3,000/year. Never leave matching contributions on the table — it's free money.
