Remote Job Offer Comparator
One offer can pay more and fit worse. This tool keeps quantifiable value separate from personal preference so the final choice does not pretend to be more objective than it is.

Compare up to three offers by quantifiable annual value, effective hourly value and a separate weighted preference score.
Quantifiable annual value
The model adds base pay, guaranteed cash, expected variable pay, the value you choose for benefits and allowances, then subtracts recurring personal costs. Signing bonuses are shown in first-year value rather than recurring annual value.
Equity is entered as a planning value only when you choose one. Keep uncertain equity separate from guaranteed cash in your notes.
Time and effective value
Committed annual hours combine working weeks, weekly hours and commute time. Effective quantifiable value per committed hour is a comparison aid—not an hourly wage or promise.
Preference score
Rate schedule, role interest, manager confidence, growth, stability and location flexibility. Choose weights that reflect your priorities. The preference result remains on its own line and never gets added to money.
Common questions
Should I include equity as cash?
No. Use a cautious planning value only if useful, and keep it conceptually separate from guaranteed cash.
Why can the highest-value offer have a lower preference score?
The scores measure different things. Quantifiable value estimates money and benefits; preference reflects your chosen work and life priorities.
