What is a Salary Comparison Tool?
A Salary Comparison Tool provides direct, side-by-side compensation evaluations between two international job offers or geographic career paths. Headline gross salaries can be extraordinarily deceptive when comparing offers across different countries, as progressive tax brackets, employee social contributions, and currency fluctuations fundamentally alter how much money actually arrives in your bank account.

실제 계산 예시
A senior product manager comparing a US job offer ($130,000 USD in NYC) against a UK offer (£85,000 GBP in London).
Offer Evaluation: $130,000 in New York vs £85,000 in London
| 계산 항목 | 산출 금액 / 기준 |
|---|---|
| Offer A: New York Gross Salary | $130,000 USD |
| NYC Estimated Taxes (Federal, State, City, FICA) | ~$38,200 USD (29.4% effective tax) |
| NYC Annual Net Take-Home Pay | $91,800 USD (~$7,650/month) |
| Offer B: London Gross Salary | £85,000 GBP (~$108,800 USD) |
| UK Estimated Income Tax & National Insurance | £26,100 GBP (~$33,400 USD) |
| London Annual Net Take-Home Pay | £58,900 GBP (~$75,400 USD / $6,280/mo) |
| Net Take-Home Pay Advantage | +$16,400 USD / year higher net in New York |
핵심 시사점: The New York offer yields ~$16,400 USD more in net annual cash. However, after factoring in London’s ~18% lower cost of living, the real lifestyle purchasing power between the two offers is virtually identical.

자주 묻는 질문
계산 방식, 세제 모델, 물가 바스켓에 대한 주요 질문과 답변입니다.
Can I compare salaries in different currencies?
Yes. All values are automatically normalized to your chosen display currency using official foreign exchange reference rates.
How should I compare two job offers with different bonus or equity components?
Input the guaranteed base salary first to evaluate baseline financial security. You can run a second comparison including expected bonus payouts or equity vesting to observe the marginal tax impact on higher variable earnings.
Why does a higher gross salary offer sometimes result in less disposable savings?
A higher gross salary in a destination with aggressive progressive tax brackets and expensive rental housing can leave you with less net disposable savings than a moderate offer in a low-tax or low-rent region.
