Comment fonctionne ce calcul (explication claire)
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.

Limites du modèle et conditions aux limites
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.
