For careers advisers and coaches

Greener is a free UK job-change decision engine you can use live in a session — no accounts, no signup walls, and nothing a client types ever leaves their browser.

Why advisers use it

It compares a current role and an offer on real 2026/27 take-home maths — income tax (England/Wales/NI and Scotland), National Insurance, all five student-loan plans, pension mechanics, commute costs — then keeps the money question and the life question (hours, flexibility, wellbeing, growth) honestly separate. Every formula is published on the methodology page, and the engine re-verifies its own arithmetic live in the page.

Because the whole scenario lives in the link, you can prepare a worked example before a session and hand it to a client as a URL — they open it, see your example, and make it theirs by typing. Nothing is stored on any server.

Ready-made teaching scenarios

A pay rise that lowers the hourly rate — the commute conversation, with real numbers.

Two identical offers, different pension match — the most-ignored £2,250 in any offer letter.

What a £5k rise actually pays — managing salary expectations after deductions.

Each opens instantly with no setup. The guides pair with them as short pre-reading.

Linking and embedding

You are welcome to link to Greener from service pages, handouts and VLEs — deep links to specific guides or pre-built scenarios work indefinitely. If you would like a co-branded preset for a workshop (your scenario, ready to hand out), email info@isthegrassgreener.com — it is free.
