What to compare besides base pay

Monthly allowance, lost wages, childcare, and support quality can matter as much as the headline number.

Monthly allowance: how much, starting when, and for how long.

Lost wages: what documentation is required, and whether a partner's lost wages are included.

Childcare and housekeeping: daily rates and the circumstances in which they apply.

Travel and companion travel: mileage, flights, hotels, and who books them.

Support: who your coordinator is, response times, and whether support is available in your preferred language.

Insurance and legal: who pays for your legal representation and how insurance review is handled.
