# How to compare internship pay: hourly, stipend, or annual salary

## Fill in your two offers

Copy confirmed terms from each offer. Leave unresolved amounts as questions rather than treating them as zero or choosing the favorable end of a range.

### Your offer comparison

| Term | Offer A | Offer B |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Pay amount, currency, and unit | [confirmed term] | [confirmed term] |
| Paid hours and placement dates | [hours; dates] | [hours; dates] |
| Total gross earnings | [calculation] | [calculation] |
| Approved support and payment date | [amount; date] | [amount; date] |
| Costs caused by choosing this offer | [costs] | [costs] |

## Your turn

Which offer leaves more before tax after its additional costs? Which takes more work and travel time? Identify the missing term most likely to change your choice.
