When I was evaluating roles, I kept running into tradeoffs that were hard to reason about. One offer might have a higher salary, another better benefits, fewer working hours, or lower commute cost. Comparing them side by side was surprisingly messy.

So this tool breaks compensation down into a few groups:

- pay (salary, bonus, equity)

- time (working hours, vacation, holidays, commute time)

- benefits paid by the employer (pension, insurance, allowances, etc)

- costs you carry yourself (commute, other job-related costs)

You can also add your own custom line items if something is missing.

It's still a simplification, but I've found it more useful than comparing salary alone.

Curious how others approach this. Do you try to quantify everything, or keep it more intuitive?
