What is a job switch calculator?
A job switch calculator compares the true total compensation of two roles, not just the headline salary. It accounts for base pay, bonus, equity, pension matching, healthcare, commute costs, work-from-home savings, parking, and tax differences (especially across state or country lines). The headline 'pay rise' is often half the real story — and sometimes a 'higher salary' offer ends up worse after you account for everything that disappears.
