Forget infographics, how about a simple table?

#5When comparing offers or negotiating a raise, how do people translate between a salary and a salary-plus-bonus? When my company got acquired, my base salary didn’t go up, but now I get a performance-based bonus; both my individual performance and the company’s overall hitting-its-numbers are used to compute the bonus figure. If my “normal” bonus (i.e., when everyone hits but does not exceed performance targets) is 10%, should I consider this equivalent to having received a 10% raise? 5%? 0% plus a fistful of lottery tickets?

No kidding. Just paste into excel and take a screen shot. I guess they need the page views...

I would think it only really makes sense to compare total compensation (salary + bonus + benefits) when comparing jobs.

Yes, but how do you value a bonus, if you don't know how much it is, or whether you'll get it?
A salary of 50K is a salary of 50K, you get 50K over a year.
How does that compare to a salary of 45K + bonus? Is it more, less, or the same?

anecdotally, you can pull this off if you have worked somewhere for a while on location and then go remote, but going for the full salary from a remote location from the get go, not sure.

Personally I don't count bonuses as compensation. They're nice pot-sweeteners but salary is constant whereas bonuses can fluctuate.
