Cost of Living Raise Calculator: What Salary Do You Need in a New City?

Tue, 13 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

A raise that does not keep up with prices is not a raise. Before you accept a move, a remote-job re-pricing, or an offer in a new city, run the numbers here. This calculator tells you what your salary needs to be.

Pick the city you earn in now, the city you are considering, and your current pay. You get three answers in plain language:

The equivalent salary in the destination city, computed from BEA Regional Price Parities for 50 major U.S. metros (your salary x destination RPP / origin RPP).
The raise needed as a percentage, which is the honest floor for any negotiation.
Whether a specific offer is a real-terms pay cut, named as such when it is.

Then it goes one step past most cost-of-living calculators: both salary figures run through the same 2026 tax engine that powers our take-home calculator, so you see take-home at both ends and the after-tax equivalent, the salary that holds your take-home buying power once federal, FICA, and state income tax differences are counted.

Two Offer Calculator: Which Job Pays More?

Two offers on the table, one decision. The bigger number is not always the better deal: a state income tax can take 6% before you see a dollar, and a pricier city quietly shrinks every paycheck you keep. This calculator puts both offers through the same test and tells you, in plain language, which one is worth more.

Enter each offer’s city, base salary, bonus, and 401(k) match, plus your job title and filing status. You get both offers side by side:
