Side-by-side paycheck comparison
Compare Two Job Offers
Model two salaries, states, and filing statuses to see which offer leaves more money in your pocket after taxes.
How to compare two offers properly
Salary alone is rarely enough to choose between offers in different states. A higher headline number can still leave you with less take-home pay once state withholding, local taxes, and filing-status differences are applied. This comparison tool is built to surface the paycheck-level difference directly so you can compare two roles using annual net pay, per-paycheck net pay, and the tax components driving the gap.
Start with base salary and state, then adjust filing status if one offer changes household withholding. If the results are close, use the linked calculators to test bonuses, pre-tax deductions, or a different work state before making a decision. That turns this page from a headline-salary comparison into a real take-home review.
