Analyze your offer letter, line by line.
Before you sign, see what your job offer is really worth — compensation measured against real market data, with AI reading the contract for the terms most people miss.
What a complete offer letter analysis covers
An offer letter is more than a salary number. These are the terms that change what it's actually worth:
Total compensation vs. market
Base, bonus, and equity measured against BLS wage bands for your exact role, metro, and seniority level — not a single blended number, but percentile placement (P25/P50/P75/P90) so you see exactly where you land, not just whether you're "in range."
Equity & vesting terms
How the grant is structured (RSUs, options, or both), the vesting schedule and cliff, and what the underlying share count and strike price actually imply about value — the details a base-salary comparison alone skips entirely.
Signing bonus claw-backs
Repayment clauses that pull the signing bonus back — in full or prorated — if you leave inside a defined window, and how that window is usually structured.
Non-compete & non-solicit
Scope of the restricted work, duration, and geography of any restriction on your next move, plus whether a clause this broad is typically enforceable in your state.
IP & invention assignment
What the company claims ownership of, including work created outside your job duties or on your own time, and where those clauses typically overreach.
At-will & arbitration
Termination terms, notice requirements if any, and whether the offer includes a mandatory arbitration clause that limits your right to sue.
1099 vs. W-2 classification
The take-home math most offers gloss over: self-employment tax, lack of employer-sponsored benefits, and the protections that come with W-2 status but not 1099.
PTO, benefits & start terms
Leave accrual, healthcare eligibility timing, and any conditions attached to your start date (background checks, contingencies) that could delay or void the offer.
A worked example
For illustration — not a real user's data
Software Engineer, Austin, TX · mid-level (L3) · offer: $122,000 base
Median $134,120. This offer $122,000. Gap -9.0%. Below median, inside the P25–P50 band — negotiable, not alarming. (P25 $104,000 · P75 $168,730, Austin-Round Rock-San Marcos, TX.)
What the $19.99 Market Position Report catches
Flag 01 — A 12-month non-compete with no geographic limit — broader than what's typically enforceable, worth raising before signing.
Flag 02 — A signing-bonus claw-back that prorates over 24 months, not the 12 stated in the offer summary — easy to miss on a first read.

Your comp, against real market data
"Is this a good offer?" only has an answer relative to the market. We place your number against U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics wage bands for your exact role, metro, and seniority — the same public data behind our Salary Index. No anonymous review threads, no self-reported surveys; every figure traces to a named public source.
How the analysis works
- 1. Add your offer — Upload the offer letter, or enter the details by hand — no letter required.
- 2. Get your score — A 0–100 AnalyzeMyOffer Score across four weighted factors, with the market range behind it.
- 3. Read the contract — The Market Position Report uses AI to scan the fine print — claw-backs, non-competes, IP, arbitration — and does the risk-adjusted comp math.

Frequently asked questions
What does an offer letter analysis check?
Compensation against real market data, equity and vesting, signing-bonus claw-backs, non-competes, IP assignment, at-will and arbitration terms, and 1099-vs-W-2 classification — the things that change what the offer is actually worth.
Is it free to analyze a job offer?
Yes. The market snapshot and your AnalyzeMyOffer Score are free, no credit card. The Market Position Report ($19.99, one-time) adds the full contract scan and risk-adjusted compensation math.
Can I analyze a job offer without a written offer letter?
Yes. If you don't have the letter yet, you can enter the role, location, and compensation by hand and still get the score and market benchmarks.
Is my offer letter kept private?
Uploaded offer letters are auto-deleted within 30 days and are never sold. See our Privacy Policy for the full detail.
Where do the salary benchmarks come from?
U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS OES) wage data and Department of Labor H-1B prevailing-wage filings — named public records, not anonymous self-reported reviews.
