Compare Job Offers A vs B vs C on 3-Year Total Compensation

Compare competing offers on the same 3-year stack formula.

A

How it's calculated

How it's calculated: For each offer, 3-year total = 3 × (base + bonus + retirement match − commute) + 3-year RSU vesting + signing bonus. Offer A: 3 × ($120,000 + $15,000 + match $4,800 − commute $4,800) + RSU $75,000 + signing $10,000 = $490,000 Offer B: 3 × ($135,000 + $10,000 + match $6,750 − commute $1,200) + RSU $45,000 + signing $0 = $496,650 Winner: Offer B at $496,650 ($165,550/yr average). Offer B leads Offer A by $6,650. Planning estimate — not tax advice.

Formula summary: Per offer: 3yr_total = 3×(base + bonus + match%×base − commute) + RSU_y1..y3 + signing ; winner = max(Offer A, B, optional C)
