About this calculator

This tool uses Numbeo's cost of living index, a global database built from millions of price data points contributed by residents worldwide. Every city is normalised against New York City (index = 100). If a city has an index of 40, the same lifestyle costs 40% of what it costs in NYC. We use this ratio to compute equivalent salaries across 500+ cities in 120+ countries.

Data is updated regularly. Estimates reflect general cost levels and will vary based on your personal lifestyle. Housing costs, local taxes, and individual spending patterns all affect real-world numbers.
