How It Works
Salary Band Calculation
Base salary is adjusted by experience level multiplier and location cost of living. The band spans ±15% around the midpoint to allow for performance differentiation.
Equity Compensation
Equity value is calculated as a percentage of base salary. RSUs typically offer ~12%, ISOs ~10%, NSOs ~8%, and profit sharing ~5% of annual base salary.
Cost of Living
Location multipliers adjust for regional cost of living differences. San Francisco (1.8x) and New York (1.7x) command premiums, while other markets scale proportionally.
Employer Costs
True employer cost includes ~30% overhead for benefits (health, dental, 401k), payroll taxes, equipment, office space, and administrative expenses.
