A cost of living calculator like no other
Start discovering what your lifestyle costs in a different city
Purpose of This Powerful Cost of Living Calculator
Enabling you to see how much your unique spending habits would cost in a different city -- without changing your standard of living.Whether you’re contemplating a move to a new city, or just curious how expensive your current home is relative to other parts of the country, this app is the first and only cost-of-living calculator that can compare costs in one city versus another that accounts for how expensive your neighborhood is relative to others in your city, and calculates of ALL the major taxes you pay.
How It Works
You’ll enter where you live and how you spend and save your disposable (after tax) income, and this calculator precisely estimates what those amounts will be in a new city of your choosing.
Comparing after-tax spending and saving isn’t enough though. For every extra dollar you need to spend or save after taxes, you have to make more than a dollar -- which is why this app estimates your tax bills in both cities.
You’ll see how much your Gross Income needs to be in your new city to make the move worth your while.
Customized calculation ensures that the most comparable home is used to estimate your housing cost in the new city
Compare the cost of Groceries, Healthcare, Utilities, Clothing, and other categories in the new city
Find out how much more you can save if you can keep your income steady despite moving to a cheaper city.
All forms of taxes are estimated (including income taxes) based on the amount of spending and saving.
Customized to Your Lifestyle
The first step to accomplishing this higher degree of personalization is entering some basic info about yourself
Instead of basing your cost of living off of a wide metropolitan area, City Vs City obtains ZIP-code level data wherever possible. This also enables the app to rank neighborhoods by housing costs, so that only a similarly ranked neighborhood is what gets compared in the new city.
Income taxes differ based on marital status, so this selection sets which tax brackets will be used for federal and state income tax calculations.
Setting the number of bedrooms enables the app to compare your current home against equivalently sized homes in a new city.
The other critical component of an individual\'s lifestyle is whether they own or rent their home. The selection on this screen will determine whether your housing comparisons are median monthly rents or median prices of homes in an equivalent ZIP code.
