Methodology and assumptions
Each year's package = base × (1 + raise)^(year − 1) × (1 + bonus %) + equity × (1 + equity change)^(year − 1) + benefits, plus the sign-on bonus in year 1. Cost-of-living adjustment divides by index ÷ 100 (enter both cities' indexes from the same source). Effective hourly = year-1 package ÷ (hours per week × 52). Taxes, vesting cliffs, refreshers, and job risk are excluded.
Currency outputs are rounded to the nearest minor currency unit.
