Career calculators and honest job guides

Work out what a job actually pays, what a commute really costs, and what a career break would set you back. Every figure is computed in your browser — nothing you type is sent anywhere.

Your numbers stay on your device. These calculators run entirely in your browser. There is no account, no cookie, and no request carrying your salary or figures off this page. You can disconnect from the internet and they still work.

How we handle numbers

Every calculator formula is tested against hand-worked examples before it ships, and we publish the exact figures we verify. Where we could not verify a number — for example a job outlook we could not confirm at source — we leave it out rather than estimate it.

See how this site is built for the detail, including the one arithmetic bug our own tests initially missed.
