Base salary is not the offer
Two offers with the same base salary can be worth substantially different amounts once bonus, equity, pension or 401(k) matching, healthcare contributions and paid leave are counted - and that is before cost of living. Comparing the headline numbers is how people accept the worse offer while feeling good about the negotiation.
The calculator takes the full package for each offer and puts them side by side, so the comparison is between totals rather than between the two numbers that happen to be easiest to remember.
Benchmarks, with the caveat attached
Role and location benchmarks give a range for what a title pays. Treat them as a range: benchmark data lags the market, titles mean different things at different company sizes, and the spread within a single title at a single level is wider than most published figures suggest.
The number that matters in a negotiation is what this employer will pay for this role, and the only way to learn it is to ask. The benchmark is for knowing whether the first number is roughly reasonable.
Questions
Where does the benchmark data come from?
Aggregated market data by role and location. It is a range rather than a precise figure, and it lags the market - use it as context, not as a target.
Does it account for equity?
Yes, as part of the total package comparison. Private-company equity is valued on the assumptions you supply, because nobody can value it reliably in advance.
Is it US-only?
Benchmarks are strongest for US and Western European markets. The package comparison works anywhere, since it uses the numbers you enter.
