advantage
'der Vorteil' and 'der Benefit' can both mean a benefit. 'Vorteil' is the normal German word and fits generally when something is helpful or gives a better position. 'Benefit' is often used in a more modern or professional way, especially for additional perks from an employer, for example a 'Jobticket' (public transport pass) or flexible working hours. Learners may confuse the words because both describe something positive. As a simple guide: in neutral comparisons, you usually use 'Vorteil'. For job perks or offers, 'Benefit' often sounds appropriate.
