    How to Use This Template

    • 1

      Enter the key figures for both job offers side-by-side.

    • 2

      Calculate the monthly net income using our Take-Home Pay calculator.

    • 3

      Estimate the weekly time and money spent on commuting—this is often underestimated.

    • 4

      Assign a 1-10 rating for culture and 'gut feeling'—this is just as important as the money.

    • 5

      Look at the 'Net Advantage' to see if a small pay bump is actually worth a longer commute or fewer perks.

    Pro Tips

    • Don't ignore the commute: Every hour spent commuting is an hour you aren't paid or enjoying life.

    • Factor in the future: Which company offers better career growth or brand name for your resume?

    • Negotiate both: If you prefer Offer A but Offer B pays more, use that to negotiate with Company A.
