Compare the cost of living between cities worldwide and see how your salary translates across different locations. Our calculator uses cost of living indices based on real-world data covering rent, groceries, transport, dining, utilities, healthcare, and entertainment.
The calculator uses a cost of living index where New York City = 100. Each city has an index value relative to NYC. To compare cities, we calculate the ratio between indices and adjust your income accordingly. For example, if London has an index of 85 and New York is 100, you would need 85% of your NYC salary to maintain the same lifestyle in London.
Cost of living indices are derived from Numbeo, Mercer, and EIU data covering 40+ cities across 7 countries. Expense category weights follow typical household spending patterns. City indices are updated semi-annually to reflect current market conditions. All calculations are estimates — actual costs vary by individual lifestyle and neighborhood.
