At least for me I convert everything in the offer letter to cash as directly as possible. So the RSU’s I can sell after the year are included in my 1 year comp and the ones I can’t aren’t, those are easy. Bonuses, straight to cash as well at the expected value (and it’s in your contract, emails or verbal agreements I would value at $0 unless they made its way into the employment contract). Transportation or other perks I value at my BATNA- which, if I can walk to a competitor, the fact that they are offering a shuttle is worth $0 to me, but if I have to drive to the competitor it’s worth the car upkeep costs.
Options are harder because you have to predict an expected value and may not be able to actually exercise them early for cash: in that case I usually default to valuing them near 0 for yearly comp.
