Roughly what are your benefits worth as a dollar figure?

In paid time off only, i get $10,780. I doubt i will ever use that. Quite the opposite actually with working during holidays, weekends, etc. Unless you keep exact records i cant imagine that one can truly figure this out. My health insurance is probably one of the best plans anyone can ever get, but i couldnt tell you what its worth.

Its not that hard actually, I spent less then an hour figuring it all out. Most of the info is on your paystub. You just need to do some basic math to figure out the yearly costs.

If your really wanting to crunch numbers then you turn around and shop for comparable benefits. ehealthinsurance.com is what I used.
While my employer pays roughly $6k of my insurance and I pay roughly $2k a year to buy a comparable package (Which I cant even FIND one) would be around $1200 a month.

Everything outside of that is hard numbers and easy to find. For example, you may have a 401k match. Thats a set number, so just factor that out to be a yearly number.

The biggest tab seems to be insurance costs. And theres 2 ways to figure it. What your employer pays or the cost to replace the package.
While the dollar / hr figure added to your base salary is substantial when you figure what your employer covers, it still jumps quite a bit beyond that when you figure out what it would cost you to buy that package yourself!
 
I have no idea, except to say that since my job comes with the benefit of travelling anywhere in the world for free whenever I wish, I could easily run it up to $100K in travel alone. The rest is pocket change in comparison.
 
47 days PTO - 9500
401k matching - 2600
uniform allowance - 400
life insurance ??? - get that through the ex
federal pension - priceless
health bene's - also through the ex
