I'm looking for a new job.
Received an offer. I don't need health insurance etc cuz what my husband's job provides is better than what I can typically get via the remodeling firms I've worked for.
The offer is at the lowest end of the posted range. I want to counter and remind them I don't need health insurance.
Does anyone know how much an employer would typically pay for an individuals health insurance?
I think it is reasonable to ask for that amount in pay.
Opinions?

You will probably not be able to trade insurance benefits for more pay. Why? Because companies who offer these benefits may be legally required to offer them, or you might change your mind later - if your partner looses their insurance.

Companies like their employees to be compensated as similarly as possible. This make everything easier for them.

I recommend that you do NOT propose that trade. You don’t want to be “that person” who always asks for special or individualized exceptions. they may view this as a red flag.

Better option: Ask for more money. If you are on the bottom of the band but can clearly articulate to them that you bring more value than the average new hire, you are likely to get more.
