Per-paycheck impact of a $100K H-1B fee at 10–50% pass-through
2•lorastonden•1h ago
I ran offer math for the proposed employer-paid $100K H-1B fee reported by major outlets. Using a 4-year horizon, it annualizes to $25K. If 10–50% is indirectly passed through, the effect is ~$96–$481 pre-tax per paycheck, and delays cost $5.1K–$20.5K in gross pay at a $133,080 salary. The post includes tables, household cost ranges, a rights checklist, and negotiation scripts. Would be interested in feedback from hiring managers and immigration attorneys.

Are they not also raising the minimum pay at the same time to 150k?
