📊 Cost of Living Index

—

vs United States (baseline 100)

📌 How it works: The Cost of Living Index (incl. rent & groceries) compares each country to the US (USA = 100). If a country’s index is 60, your purchasing power is ~1.67x higher — a $3,000 salary there equals a $5,000 lifestyle in the US. Data is based on 2024-2025 public estimates (Numbeo-style aggregates). Rents are approximate for a 1-bedroom in prime urban areas.

✈️ Why use this?
Moving abroad? A salary offer might sound great, but local costs matter. Our tool gives you an instant lifestyle reality check.

🧠 Pro tip
Look beyond rent: compare dining, transport & utilities using the index. Lower index = your money stretches further.
