Is this a fair way to calculate what salary to ask for?

(20% salary increase) + (COL of new city % increase + income tax % increase) + (current salary + 10% on current salary for bonus assuming new company doesn’t do bonuses)

If not, what do you guys do? I would be moving from DC to San Jose. TIA.

Shouldn’t you think about your salary in terms of market rate for the role? You can use this bottom up approach for determining what your thresholds for leaving would be but, but what you gun for should be determined by the typical comp for that role and not your previous salary.

Also doing that, but if it’s below the output of this formula, I’m not even considering it.
