Compare money and fit separately

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.

Offer A

Preference ratings

Rate each factor from 0 to 10. The preference score remains separate from money.

Preference weights

Use any non-negative weights. The calculator normalizes them.

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.
