Offer Comparison Tool
Compare 2–4 job offers side by side. Enter base salary, bonus, annualised equity, benefits value, commute time and PTO days per offer. Dueneo calculates total compensation and effective hourly rate (factoring in commute time and PTO), highlights the best offer by each metric, and renders a side-by-side comparison table. Everything runs locally in your browser.
How to use
- 1
Add 2–4 offers
Click "Add offer" to add up to 4 offers. Each card represents one offer with its full compensation breakdown.
- 2
Fill in compensation components
For each offer enter: base salary, annual bonus, annualised equity value (use a 4-year vest divided by 4 for annualised), benefits value (health, retirement match, perks in $/yr), commute minutes per day, and PTO days per year.
- 3
Read total comp and effective hourly rate
Each card shows total compensation (sum of all components) and effective hourly rate (total comp / (work hours + commute hours)). The best offer by each metric is highlighted.
- 4
Compare side-by-side in the table
The comparison table shows every component for every offer in one row, so you can see at a glance which offer wins on which dimension. Use the two summary cards to decide between max comp and max hourly.
Common use cases
- Decide between a higher-salary offer and a higher-equity offer by comparing total comp.
- Reveal that a high-salary offer with a 90-minute commute is actually worth less per hour than a lower-salary remote role.
- Quantify the value of PTO and benefits when comparing offers with very different structures.
- Negotiate: see exactly which lever (base, bonus, equity, benefits) to push on to close a gap with a competing offer.
- Compare a full-time offer against a contract rate by entering the contract annualised.
Limitations
- Equity is entered as an annualised dollar value. Convert your grant to annualised: (total shares × current strike price or FMV) / vesting years. This tool does not model vesting cliffs, accelerated vesting, or the risk that equity ends up worth $0.
- Effective hourly rate assumes 8-hour work days, 5 days/week, 52 weeks/year minus PTO. It does not account for actual overtime, on-call, or work-from-home time savings.
- Commute time is entered as minutes per day round-trip. The tool multiplies by working days (52×5 − PTO) to get annual commute hours and adds them to the time-cost denominator.
- Tax differences between jurisdictions are not modelled. Two offers with the same total comp can have very different post-tax value depending on state/country and equity treatment (RSU vs ISO vs NSO). Use a tax-aware calculator for the final decision.
- Benefits value is a single number you provide. It should aggregate health insurance premium value, retirement match, gym/learning stipends, parental leave above statutory, and other quantifiable perks. Subjective benefits (culture, growth) are not modelled.
- The tool does not factor in signing bonus (one-time) or relocation. Add signing bonus to year-1 total comp manually if you want it in the comparison.
