Total Compensation Calculator

About this calculator

Total compensation adds together every component of what an employee actually receives from a job — base salary, cash bonus, the value of benefits (health insurance, retirement matching, PTO), and equity (stock options or RSUs, typically valued at grant or vesting) — into one combined figure, rather than looking at base salary alone. This is the number companies increasingly show candidates as a 'total rewards' statement, since base pay alone can understate what a role is actually worth, especially at tech and startup companies where equity can be a significant share of pay.

Job seekers use total compensation to compare offers apples-to-apples across companies with very different pay mixes — one offer might be higher base with no equity, another lower base with meaningful stock upside — while HR and compensation teams use it internally to benchmark pay bands and ensure competitive offers.

This calculator takes your base salary, bonus, benefits value, and equity value and adds them into your total compensation.
