Total Compensation Negotiation Model

Value the whole offer, not just the salary line, and negotiate with confidence

Most people negotiate a job offer by fixating on one number: base salary. This interactive model helps you work through the whole offer, compare it to what you actually want, determine the trade-offs across every lever, and leverage the total compensation conversation with confidence. Base, bonus, equity, pension, time, flexibility, development, purpose and security are valued in one currency, so you know what to ask for and what to trade when the salary line is hard to move.

What you get

• A live comparison of offer vs. target across every lever, base, bonus, equity, pension, vacation, flex days, development, coaching, and more, all converted to annual dollar values
• A Trade-Off Analyzer that shows what a hard-to-get raise is worth in vacation weeks, flex days, development budget or volunteer time
• Termination terms guidance grounded in current Canadian case law, with red flags and the questions to raise with counsel
• Word-for-word scripts: thank them warmly, ask for the written offer and pay band, and negotiate prepared, never on the spot
• Your work stays saved in your browser, private to you, and you can save the whole model as a PDF
