Common questions
Relocation maths, explained
How is the equivalent salary calculated?
The calculator compares the cost-of-living index of the origin and destination and applies the ratio to your gross salary. It then converts the result into the destination currency using the imported exchange rate. It is a purchasing-power guide, not a tax or net-pay calculation.
Does the relocation calculator include tax?
No. The equivalent salary is a gross purchasing-power comparison. Use the take-home pay calculator for an after-tax estimate in the destination country.
