I have X $ as one time joining bonus, B $ as base, R$ as RSU vested over 4 years and around Y$ as yearly bonus.
X / B + R^(0.5) - Y
Z * (B + Y + (R / 4)) X is either mentioned separately or is tacked on but divided by either 2 or 4 or somewhere in-between depending on how long you expect to stay at the company. Z is the Blind constant where it should be 1, but younger folks typically use a value anywhere from 1.5 to as high as 5 to make themselves feel included.
LOL @ Z. Not to throw shade, but a lot of Amazon folks use the appreciation of stock in their TC as well. I always use the value of stocks at award time and not vest time. The Amazonians are all about using the vest time value.
First you start by calculating the amount of electricity that you use at work to charge your personal devices. Then you get the amount of water you use every time you poop at work...
I like either amortizing the signing bonus over 4 yrs or calculating two numbers a first yr tc, and yr 2-4 tc
If you leave after 1 year tc=b+y+x+(r/4)
If you quit or laid off after 3 years tc =b+y+(x/3)+(r/4)
Take a math 101, gonna boost your career!
If you are fired or quit before 1Full year, tc =b+y. A lot of companies claw back the sign on bonus and don't give you any RSUs if you leave or Don't get along with your boss before full year.
For me: it is average annual pre tax money you are projecting to get in the next 4 years (before the cliff). I include employer 401k and HSA contributions, sign on, refreshers, cash bonus, etc because all of that is real money in your pocket.
Jesus Christ it's not that hard
Based on many of the answers I’ve seen, there are absolutely people who are fucking up, or deliberately lying, about the stock portion of their TC result.
Yes people are dumb
