Phoenix pays $383 more per week on paper — but the $22/hr base is an IRS audit risk and the straight-time overtime clause costs you on every long week. Dallas is the safer, cleaner contract.

Every travel nurse has been here.

📧
Your recruiter just sent two offers and called both "great packages." One says $2,800/week, the other $3,100 — but you have no idea what you'll actually take home after taxes.
🤯
You've tried doing the math yourself. Hourly rate times hours, plus stipends, minus taxes... except you're not sure which parts are taxed and which aren't. You ended up more confused than when you started.
⚠️
Someone in your Facebook group just got audited because her stipends were inflated. Now you're wondering: does my housing allowance actually qualify as tax-free? Your agency said yes — but they're not the ones who'd owe back taxes.
✍️
You signed a contract last year and found out halfway through that the overtime clause meant you were working 8 extra hours a week at straight time. You didn't catch it. Nobody flagged it.
💬
Your recruiter is pushing you to decide by end of day. You want to negotiate but you don't know what to ask for or how to say it without burning the relationship.
📊
A friend told you she compares contracts using a spreadsheet she built. You asked her to share it. It had 14 tabs. You closed it immediately.

The problem

Contract pay is designed to confuse you.

Recruiters bundle hourly rates, housing stipends, meal allowances, and bonuses into one "package" number. Every agency does it differently. Without a spreadsheet, you're guessing.

"

"This is a $2,800/week package — $22/hr taxable, plus $1,800/week housing, $500 M&IE, and a $2,000 completion bonus if you finish all 13 weeks."

⚠️ That $2,800 headline hides a $22/hr taxable rate (IRS red flag), a straight-time overtime trap, and a bonus you may never collect. TrueOfferRN catches all of it automatically.
How it works

Paste. Compare. Decide.

No spreadsheets. No math. Paste whatever your recruiter sent — raw email text, anything — and get your answer.

1

Paste both offers

Copy the recruiter email or offer text into each box. Doesn't need to be formatted — messy text works perfectly.

2

We do the math

We separate taxable pay from tax-free stipends, estimate taxes correctly, and calculate your real weekly take-home for each contract.

3

Get a clear answer

Plain-English breakdown, flagged red flags, green flags, and a definitive winner — so you can negotiate or sign with confidence.

What you get

Everything hidden, in plain sight.

💰

Real take-home calculation

Taxes only hit your taxable hourly rate — not your stipends. We calculate it correctly so what you see is what you actually keep.

🏠

Tax home eligibility check

Answer 6 questions and find out if your living situation actually qualifies for tax-free stipends — before you sign anything.

🚩

Stipend inflation detection

Agencies pad stipends to make offers look bigger. We flag contracts where the tax-free portion looks inflated — an IRS audit risk for you, not them.

💬

Negotiation script generator

Get a word-for-word script to ask for better terms, tailored to the specific red flags in your contract and your competing offer as leverage.

Pricing

Cheaper than one bad contract.

A single mis-signed contract can cost thousands in lost pay or back taxes. TrueOfferRN pays for itself on your first comparison.
