Your choice at a glance

On the money and time entered, the second option is at least as favorable on both measures.

Consider weekends and shifts too: even with the same money and hours, they can change how you organize your life.

Annual amount available$2,700.00

With “New offer”, you have $2,700.00 more available per year than with “Current job”, after the expenses and reserves entered.

Hours committed per year0 hours

“Current job” and “New offer” require the same total hours working and on the journeys entered, per year.

What this means for you

Compare the money left after work expenses with the hours taken up by work and travel. Then consider weekends, shifts and the conditions of the two roles before deciding.

Consider your own circumstances

Something to consider beyond the comparison figures.

Beyond the annual total, compare working patterns, flexibility and time to rest.

Money and time are separate: choose the trade-off that works for you.

How the comparison works

Enter net pay and net bonuses. Paid leave is already included in salary. Count only hours actually worked and travel days; do not subtract paid leave from income again.
