# Salary Offer Comparator MCP. AI Agent Connect > Salary Offer Comparator helps you look past the sticker price of a job offer. It gives your AI client the math it needs to weigh salary against taxes, local cost of living, and lifestyle factors like commute time. Instead of guessing which offer is better, you can get a clear, data-driven breakdown of your actual purchasing power and time value. ## Overview - **Category:** productivity - **Price:** Free - **Endpoint:** https://edge.vinkius.com/vk_preview_Tkw1AmYAOjPpcAjsHEsMPLyaQKlMIUQsCzdicdkz/ai-agent-connect - **Tags:** salary, career, comparison, tax, cost-of-living ## Description Stop making career decisions based on gross annual salary alone. This MCP gives your AI agent the specific tools needed to run a deep financial and lifestyle audit on any job offer. You can move beyond simple math to see how a higher salary in an expensive city might actually leave you with less money in your pocket than a lower salary in a cheaper area. Your agent can calculate your effective hourly rate by factoring in every hour spent working and commuting. It can also estimate your net disposable income by accounting for local tax burdens and cost of living. If you are weighing a remote role against an in-office position, the MCP can quantify how much that lifestyle change actually impacts your quality of life. It turns messy, incomparable job offers into a side-by-side comparison that focuses on what actually matters: your time and your money. ## Tools ### calculate_effective_hourly_rate This tool finds your true hourly value by including all time spent on the job, including your commute. ### estimate_net_disposable_income This tool calculates the actual cash you will have left after taxes for a specific location. ### evaluate_lifestyle_impact This tool quantifies how much remote work, commuting, and total working hours affect your quality of life. ### compare_offers This tool performs a direct side-by-side comparison of multiple job offers to find the best financial and lifestyle fit. ## Prompt Examples **Prompt:** ``` Compare two offers: Offer A is $100k with 2 days remote, and Offer B is $110k with 0 days remote.
