Where the difference comes from
| Annual estimate | Current job | New job | Difference |
|---|
Effective compensation = regular pay + overtime − employee health premiums − estimated commute cost + entered employer-paid benefits. Taxes are excluded because tax circumstances differ. Commute time is shown separately rather than assigned an arbitrary dollar value. This is an estimate for comparing scenarios, not financial or tax advice.
