How to read the comparison

Balance is gross pay plus support and savings, minus living and one-time costs. Monthly costs are prorated using 52 weeks / 12. Weekly averages divide every total by that offer’s placement length.

All results are before taxes, deductions, benefits, overtime, and unpaid time. A positive balance is not take-home pay. Compare the work, learning, mentorship, and commute alongside the amounts.

Inputs, including your personal draft while you explore examples, stay in this tab and clear on reload. No offer is accepted through this tool.

How to use

Compare the practical side of two offers

A higher hourly rate does not always leave more room in your budget. Compare each placement’s length, planned living costs and moving expenses, then consider those numbers alongside the work, learning and support each opportunity offers.

  1. Enter each offer separately

    Give each offer a name and enter its own pay, paid schedule, duration, costs and support.

  2. Choose the comparison

    Switch between balance, gross pay, living costs, one-time costs and support. Both offers share the same dollar scale.

  3. Check duration and assumptions

    Compare the whole placement and weekly averages. Select a bar to edit the related input, or export the amounts and assumptions.

Good to know

Why can a different offer look better per week?

Placements can have different lengths. Weekly averages divide each offer’s totals by its own number of weeks, including one-time costs and support. A larger total balance can therefore have a smaller weekly average.

Does the tool choose an offer for me?

No. It compares your financial assumptions before tax. Learning, mentorship, the work itself, travel, accessibility and your personal circumstances also matter. Published pay imported from a listing remains a planning reference, not a confirmed offer.
