Compare Remote Job Offer Total Compensation & Benefit Value — Free
Headline salary numbers frequently obscure true compensation differences between remote job offers once healthcare premiums, retirement matches, and out-of-pocket remote work costs are factored in.

Where an AI step helps, any free chat assistant works — free tiers exist (Google AI Studio, Groq), but plans and limits change, so check the provider's own page.

Why the flat version breaks
A $120k offer with full benefits, $300/mo wellness stipend, and 401k match often nets significantly higher annual value than a $130k offer requiring expensive healthcare contributions and unmonetized equipment purchases.
How to use the remote offer value board in four passes
Include 401k matching, health premiums, home office stipends, learning budgets, and expected remote overhead.
Separate guaranteed liquid cash from conditional or non-cash perks.
Review the offer board showing real net compensation equity between competing opportunities.
SAMPLE DATA, NOT A VERIFIED CLAIM: starter record calculates total real value for a $120,000 remote offer with $12,000 in net benefit value. Replace these values with your own source before you rely on anything.
What breaks first
Focusing exclusively on base salary while ignoring benefit costs
High healthcare deductibles and zero 401k match can erode $10k-$15k of nominal salary difference quickly.
Valuing non-cash perks at full face value
Stipends for services you do not use (e.g. gym memberships) shouldn't be counted as cash compensation.
What you pay otherwise
