Job & equity guides

A job offer is more than salary plus one equity number.

Equity compensation, employer-plan rules and the value of the match can change what an offer is actually worth after vesting, taxes and a job transition.

MFA comparison

Equal estimated annual value under these assumptions. Compare working hours, benefits and uncertainty before deciding.

A lower monthly cost or higher estimated compensation value does not automatically make an option better. Use this as the numerical starting point, then consider the qualitative trade-offs.

Compare it with another snapshot, keep your reasoning and set your next step.

Inputs, estimates & source dates

Keep this result

Save it to My MFA and come back later.

This keeps the scenario in your private My MFA workspace so you can reopen, compare and organize it. It does not publish the scenario.

Share or export

Send the scenario, copy a rerunnable link, or export a branded file.

Sharing is separate from saving to My MFA. Public links carry only the scenario inputs needed to reproduce this view.

PNG and PDF use the same high-resolution MFA export layout with result context and assumptions. On iPhone, Save PNG can open the iOS share sheet. MyFriendAlex.org is the full experience · MFA.Money is the short address.

Educational estimates only. Taxes, benefits, financing terms and personal circumstances can materially change the result.
