About Total Compensation Calculator

The result is the signed sum of its components: positive items are added and deductions subtracted. Expressing it as a share of the positive components shows how much of the gross figure survives to the bottom line. Working the reward package up from its components makes clear which line is moving it, which a single headline number hides.
