Cómo funciona este cálculo (en lenguaje sencillo)
A $125k job in an expensive city with high health premiums and a long train commute often leaves you with less real purchasing power than a $110k role in a lower-cost area with superior benefits. This calculator aggregates Total Compensation (Base + Bonus + 401k Match), subtracts mandatory deductions (Health + Commute), and normalizes for Cost of Living (COL). It also computes your effective hourly rate by factoring in paid time off.

Limitaciones del modelo y condiciones límite
While this engine calculates standard actuarial and consumer finance metrics, real-world finance introduces nuances that no automated model can fully predict:
- Assumes tax rates, inflation indices, and APR rates remain static across modeled projections.
- Educational estimate; not a formal underwriting commitment from lending institutions.
- Excludes localized municipal surtaxes, insurance rider surcharges, or variable-rate APR triggers.
