How We Calculate Affordability

Cost Formula

We calculate your total monthly cost by combining rent, food, transport, and utilities — then apply a lifestyle multiplier (0.8× frugal, 1.0× average, 1.3× comfortable).

Tax & Savings

Each country's estimated income tax rate is applied to your salary. The remaining amount after taxes and costs is your monthly savings — displayed as a percentage.

Affordability Tiers

Cities are marked Affordable when savings ≥20%, Tight when savings ≥0%, and Over Budget when costs exceed income.

Data Sources

Cost data is sourced from Numbeo and updated regularly. All amounts are in USD. Use the city detail pages for a full breakdown including tax estimates.
