METHODOLOGY

Every recommendation has a visible reason.

Annual value

Base + target bonus + annualized equity + valued benefits + remote value − commute cost. Sign-on is included once in Year 1.

Risk adjustment

Equity value is multiplied by the confidence percentage you supply. We do not predict stock prices, startup outcomes, taxes, or dilution.

Negotiation target

The gap uses only your competing offer, desired compensation, or recruiter range. The suggested counter rounds up to $5,000; it is an anchor, not market advice.

Guaranteed means base, sign-on, entered benefits and remote value, less commute costs. Target bonus and equity remain variable. All values are nominal and pre-tax.
