Ofte stillede spørgsmål
- How is the equivalent salary calculated?
- Your current salary is scaled by the ratio of the two cities' cost-of-living indices: equivalent salary = current salary × (destination index ÷ origin index).
- What does the index represent?
- A relative measure of typical living costs — housing, food, transport, and so on — across the 30 cities, used to compare purchasing power.
- How accurate is the comparison?
- It is a broad estimate from city-level averages and will not match your personal spending exactly. Use it for orientation, not precise budgeting.
- Is the salary I enter sent anywhere?
- No. The equivalent-salary scaling is computed in your browser from the cities you pick and the salary you type, which is never transmitted.
