Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I look at total compensation instead of base salary?
Base salary only reflects direct cash pay. Generous healthcare coverage, strong retirement matches, paid parental leave, and equity grants can add \$20,000 to \$50,000+ in annual economic value that base salary ignores.
How is PTO converted to cash value in total compensation?
PTO is monetized by dividing your base salary by standard annual workdays (260 days) to find your daily wage, then multiplying by total paid leave days provided by your employer.
