Tool · 2026
Put two job offers side by side and find out which one leaves you more money and more free time, including commuting, remote work and benefits.
Commute minutes and cost: there and back. Benefits: meal cards, health insurance, transport or childcare allowances, in euros per year.

It affects the income tax withholding of both offers in the same way.
Two job offers with the same gross salary can be very different. One may require you to be in the office every day with a long commute; the other may be almost fully remote and include a meal card and health insurance. This tool puts both offers on the same scale: how much you really earn for every hour you give to the job, commuting included.
To turn weekly figures into yearly ones we use 45 working weeks a year, after holidays and bank holidays.
Offer A pays €30,000 gross but requires 5 office days with 80 minutes of daily commuting and €6 a day in transport. Offer B pays €28,000 with one office day a week and €1,200 a year in benefits.
A leaves more on your payslip: about €23,100 net against €21,800. But after €1,350 of commuting costs, A comes down to about €21,800 in real money, while B rises to about €22,700. Per real hour, commuting included, B pays about €12.20 against €10.40 for A: almost 18% more.
Enter how many days a week you would go to the office. The tool counts only the savings in commuting time and cost. If working from home costs you money, such as heating or internet, subtract it from the benefits.
It depends. Meal cards are tax-free up to €11 per working day, health insurance up to €500 per person a year and transport allowances up to €1,500 a year. Above those limits they are taxed like salary.
If you qualify for the special regime for workers moving to Spain, your tax will be lower than shown here. The comparison between the two offers is still useful, but the net figures will not match.
