Negotiating an offer for a job I really want to take. But the health insurance is lacking, causing a 13k gap in compensation. Are there creative ways to make up for this diff other than base pay?

The only thing I can think of is an offer to have some equity with 13k fmv annually

And keep in mind health insurance benefits are tax free, which means they'd need to offset that gap by about 17k salary just to keep you even.

@EY2 their health insurance policy premiums are 13k more than my current policy. Either way I plan on using tax free funds

Ah, yes, touche. Brain lapse on my part.

Thank you for the real answer though. That statement would be true if it was going from insurance to no insurance

This might be a dumb question, but how do you value health insurance in terms of compensation?

Compare premium cost and coverage. In my case coverage was mostly the same but the monthly cost was way more at the new job

Oh I see, thanks

Other than increased base pay or increased vacation...I can't come up with anything except "pay my health insurance premiums".

Update: they didn't budge one penny on health insurance so I passed. Still in PA

It can be impossible to deal with financial losses due to declining health or unforeseen circumstances by not having life insurance. In these cases, the solution to your debts (that can affect the financial stability of you or your loved ones) may fall within the category of life insurance.
