How to compare two job offers
Headline salary alone is a poor way to compare job offers. The hidden components — super contribution rate, bonus reliability, leave entitlement, working-from-home flexibility — can swing the value by 5-15% in either direction. This calculator gives you a single all-in annual figure for each offer so you're comparing apples to apples.
The components that matter most: Super (12% is the FY 2026-27 minimum SG; some employers offer 13-15%). Bonus (use the average paid in recent years, not the maximum). Annual leave (4 weeks is statutory; 5-6 weeks is meaningful — convert to dollar value at salary ÷ 260 days). Working from home (commute + lunch + clothing savings, plus time — typically $25-50 per WFH day).
Two things this calculator deliberately doesn't include: equity / RSUs (varies enormously by company stage and vesting schedule — model separately) and career trajectory (a smaller offer with better learning may pay back over 3-5 years). For the take-home picture on each side, run the offered base through our Take-Home Pay Calculator. For the negotiating-leverage side, see our Pay Rise Calculator.
