Raise vs job hop calculator

Stay = raised base + match. Hop = new base + match − extra commute. Match is compensation. Vesting, equity, and health premiums are out of this widget — put them in the job-offer playbook. Primer: how to negotiate a raise. First 90 days: capture the raise.

This is pre-tax base plus match minus cash commute — “after-tax-ish,” not a W-4. FICA + federal on the extra dollars: paycheck calculator. Offer stack (equity, premium, PTO): job-offer playbook. A hop that wins by $4k and costs an unvested match is not a win.
