I want to say something doesn't seem to make sense when you consider what you give up to achieve it. Can I use "trade-off"?

Is this correct?

I believe reducing the number of off days in exchange for one percent of salary increase is not a good trade-off.
 
It's okay, but I don't know what you mean by "number of days" there.
 
I'd say, "I believe a one-percent salary increase in exchange for fewer days off isn't a good trade-off".

Alpacinou wrote 'number of off days'. It should have been 'days off'.
 
I tend to have many more 'off days' than I have days off! :)
 
The term "off days" was used extensively in my previous shift-working job.
