[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Base+ Bonus (non sales, so bonus is generally plus minus 10% of expected) + value of RSU at the time of allocation (if the value goes down or goes up drastically, more than 30%, I adjust a bit mentally, otherwise unvested RSU's is hard to predict at the time of vest).

No 401K match, DCP match included[/quote]
bonus and RSU are not fixed. Your RSU can be worthless if the stock tanks.[/quote]

Of course they are not fixed. I am in tech, legacy tech company like Cisco/IBM. RSU don't become worthless. Agree to your comment, if we worked for a startup.. The least bonus that I have got in last 10 years is 90% of target and max 145% of target but mostly it is generally always around 100%. Sales roles have much higher variability than desk jobs

Our HHI is always an estimate, I was just sharing my calculation[/quote]
PP here. I worked for a FANNG with RSUs.  Those RSU aren't steady in value, even as they probably won't lose much value.  Even so, they are not part of your HH*I*, *INCOME*.

Same for bonus. You cannot rely on it to be part of your HHI.  Those high tech companies are starting to cut bonuses, too. [/quote]

What are you talking about. It is your income, it's part of your HHI. 
HHI doesn't mean that the income is fixed. Your HHI can be variable from year to year.
When I was at Amazon, the max base pay for corporate jobs was 160k. The base pay at these big tech companies is generally small portion of the compensation. During my time there, I never made less that 400k in total compensation (base pay + RSU + bonus)
It would be ridiculous to say that my HHI was 160k.
