What the Offer Actually Adds

A 5,000 raise with a longer journey. After a 30% deduction the raise is 3,500. Travel costs 1,680 more a year. And the journey is 90 minutes a day longer — 330 hours a year, which at the offered job's own after-tax rate of 19.89 an hour comes to 6,563.70. The move ends up 4,743.70 a year WORSE, and nothing on the offer letter is wrong: the figure that decides it simply is not on it. But pricing commute time at your wage is an assumption, not a fact — some people read, some drive, some would be doing nothing anyway. So this page does not impose it: value your time at 0% and the move gains 1,820; at 100% it loses 4,743.70. Then it gives the number that settles it — break-even is 5.52 an hour, 27.75% of the offered wage. Value your time below that and the move gains; above it, it loses.

Anyone weighing a job offer against a longer journey, and the HR and recruitment teams who have to explain why a raise did not feel like one.

How it works

  1. Enter both roles: salary, one-way journey, monthly travel cost, any one-off costs.
  2. Enter your working year, contracted hours and deduction rate.
  3. Read the answer at 0% and at 100% — the two ends of the same offer.
  4. Compare the break-even hourly value against what an hour is actually worth to you.

What you gain

  • Prices the one thing a job offer letter never states — the extra commute — and shows the same raise as a real gain or a real loss depending on that cost, with the exact break-even hourly value where it flips.

Frequently asked questions

How is my commute time valued in the calculation?

You set a percentage (0–100) of your after-tax hourly rate for the offered role. That percentage is applied to the total round-trip commute hours to compute the monetary cost or benefit.

What happens if I enter a one-way commute over 12 hours?

The tool rejects it with an error, because entering a round trip in a one-way field is a common mistake. You must enter the actual one-way duration.

Does the tool use any tax tables or assume my tax rate?

No. You enter your own deduction rate, working year length, and contracted hours, since these vary by country, tax band, and contract type. The tool only uses what you provide.
