Total Compensation
The total comp estimator tool estimates total compensation, not an actual dollar amount, for benefits-eligible faculty and staff employees based on annual pay and retirement plan elections entered into the estimator. Therefore, the estimated total compensation should only be used as a guide and is not guaranteed or represented as accurate, complete, or correct.
Independent contractors and employees who are not benefits-eligible (e.g., students, House Staff, fellows, and adjunct faculty) should not use this tool.
