Job offers mix hourly rates, annual salary, and inflation — comparing them on the same basis avoids bad decisions. Use these calculators before negotiating or switching roles.
Hourly vs salary
$32/hour × 40 hours × 52 weeks ≈ $66,560 gross (before benefits and tax). A $72,000 salary with unpaid PTO might net fewer working hours — convert both ways and subtract benefits value separately.
Real raises vs inflation
A 4% raise when CPI runs 3% is only ~1% more purchasing power. The salary vs inflation calculator stacks nominal raises against cost-of-living to see if you are actually ahead.
Negotiation tip
Bring total compensation (base, bonus, equity, 401(k) match) and real wage growth over your tenure — not just the headline percent raise.
