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.
