Equity vests evenly each year.

Year one: 115,950
Difference
4,000

Totals count base, bonus at target, retirement match, other benefits, the signing bonus once and the equity vested within the period. Taxes are not applied.

Example

Equity versus higher base

Equity counts only as it vests, so a short horizon favours cash.

Input
A: 90,000 base + 40,000 equity over 4 years. B: 105,000 base.
Output
Offer B pays more over 4 years once the bonus and match are counted

Frequently Asked Questions

No. Tax rules depend on where you live and how equity is granted, so totals are before tax.
