Tell that to corporations that lie to employees and candidates all the time.

I don't deny that, but I don't think lying back is a fruitful approach.

$5k over may be a fair estimate of benefits like employer match, employer contribution to insurance, HSA, perks.

I get an annual breakdown and it’s at least $5k over my salary number.

$5k is likely a massive underestimate of all benefits. I have no problem with being honest, adding those all in and saying "my total compensation package is worth $xx annually".

Yeah I include all my casual work travel that I enjoy in my “benefits calculator” which is like an additional 15k/year on top of my employers “total spend on associate” breakdown.
