What percentage of my salary is my benefit package worth, say on an annual basis?


Question:
Paid health care premiums (i.e. about 2/3); vacation, holiday and sick pay; stock options, cash balance plan (no contribution from me) and a 401(k) plan (I haven't yet opened the 401(k) account).

Thank you.

Answer:
A good generalization based on the information given is about 30%.
Depends on your salary, how much they pay for insurance, how much they kick in for 401K employer match, what the stock is worth when they buy it for you, etc.

That is something you're going to have to do the math on yourself.
you will need to provide a lot more detail than that if you want someone to calculate a percentage for you.

with the information you provided, there is no way to quantify anything, therefore, calculating a percentage is not possible.

certainly, if you make minimum wage, the benefits package will be a greater percentage of your salary than if you made, say, one million dollars a year.


medical insurance premiums can vary based on your age, where you live, and gender. in addition, premiums will vary depending on the insurance provider. so 2/3? great...but 2/3 of what?

stock options? what is the strike price? what is the stock currently traded at? at what times can you exercise? how many options have you been granted? there's no way to calculate this one either.

401k plan? does your employer match? if so, how much? how much will you contribute? who administers the plan? what are their fees? once again, not enough info to answer this question.

vacation, holiday and sick pay? how many days do you get? how much do you make? still again, not enough info.
