Includes multiple calculators that compare the salary, cost of living, city reports, and school reports in most large cities in the US.
Money Geek Cost-of-living Calculator"The MoneyGeek cost of living calculator provides quick insights into how much you’ll pay in housing, utilities, groceries and other expenses in a given city. That information is particularly helpful if you’re offered a job that requires you to relocate, or you’re daydreaming about moving somewhere new for a change in weather or atmosphere.
MoneyGeek’s cost of living calculator lets you compare your current expenses against what you’ll pay in another city, and it provides comparisons to U.S. median costs as well. That way, you can determine if your potential new home is affordable compared to your current lifestyle.
Use the calculator to run a cost of living comparison by city to determine how much more or less income you’ll need to maintain your current standard of living." (moneygeek.com)
