The problem
Military members and federal employees were piecing together their compensation from scattered PDFs, forum threads, and Excel workbooks passed between coworkers — BAH tables from one source, GS locality pay from another, PCS cost-of-living modeling from nowhere at all.
Nothing online let them plug in real inputs (rank, ZIP, dependents, orders) and see net pay side-by-side across scenarios. The official calculators existed, but they were hard to find, clunky to use, and never updated together in one place.
The solution
IsMyJobWorthIt pulls official DoD and OPM rate tables into a single, fast web app. Enter rank, location, and dependents and you see BAH, base pay, GS locality — and their after-tax combined value — in one view. No login, no account.
The PCS comparison tool is the flagship: plug in two sets of orders (current station vs. prospective station) and get a clean side-by-side of net pay after housing costs — the single biggest question service members face when orders drop.
