How to read the comparison
A higher salary may take more time or come with higher expenses. This tool shows money left after job expenses separately from the time spent working, commuting and taking any breaks you add.
Which salary should you enter?
Enter salary paid into your account, per month or per year, on the same basis for A and B. There is no gross-net conversion or tax calculation. The optional section lets you add an extra salary payment or bonuses. Use the pencil in the A or B heading to rename the job. A yearly salary must already include all salary payments.
Guaranteed bonuses count in full. The target bonus is the yearly amount that might be paid if targets are met: it is not guaranteed. Try including 0%, 50% or 100% to see what would happen. Do not count the same bonus twice.
Which time is counted?
We add working hours, return commutes on days on site, and any breaks or other time you add. Exclude holidays from working weeks: for example, 52 weeks minus 5 weeks of holiday gives 47 working weeks. We do not subtract that leave again.
You can also use a schedule with days of leave, or enter yearly totals directly. Remove each day off once. Exact days on site, if entered, replace the schedule estimate and change commute time and expenses per visit. The weekly chart adds work, commuting and breaks during a working week. Holidays do not reduce this total. Annual totals alone cannot define a typical week. Without entered sleep and daily tasks, it shows time outside the job, not just free time.
What do the two suggested salaries for B mean?
The same income after expenses: the minimum salary to have at least as much money left over the year as with A, after job expenses.
The same income per hour: the minimum salary to have at least as much money left per hour spent on B as on A. Work, commuting and added breaks all count. B’s bonuses, expenses and hours stay as entered.
What about five years?
The chart adds up money left after expenses over five years. Unless you enter increases, salary and expenses stay the same each year. Any entered increase repeats each year; reimbursements follow their associated expenses. Bonuses and hours stay the same. This is not a promise of a pay rise.
See the formulas and calculation rules
Money left over one year = yearly salary + guaranteed bonuses + included share of target bonus + other payments − expenses not already deducted from salary + reimbursements not already included. Monthly expenses are multiplied by 12. Daily expenses follow working days or days on site, as selected. Health insurance and meal voucher contributions are not deducted twice. Benefits without a cash payment and employer-paid vouchers stay separate.
Money left per hour = money left over the year / total time taken by the job. Money per extra hour is calculated only if B takes more time than A. Without hours, the division is unavailable. Day and week equivalents use 8 hours per day and 35 hours per week.
For suggested salaries: subtract B’s other payments, net of expenses, from A’s money left, then divide by B’s salary payment count. To keep the same amount per hour, first multiply A’s amount per hour by B’s time. Suggested amounts have a minimum of zero and are rounded up to the next cent.
To compare a different work pattern, edit B’s hours, days and salary directly using the employer’s proposed conditions. French part-time leave rules can count days differently from your schedule: remove only days actually taken out of the schedule.

Demonstration on opening
A: €2,000 per month and 35 working hours per week. B: €2,300 per month and 45 hours per week. With 12 payments per year, 47 working weeks, no expenses or commuting: B leaves €300 more per month, but takes 470 more hours per year. Each extra hour corresponds to €7.66 more money. Money left per hour falls by 10.56%. To keep the same amount per hour as A, B would need at least €2,571.43 per month.
