🌍 Salary Converter — Compare Salaries Across 3,400+ Neighborhoods

Try it free → salary-converter.com

A free tool that compares salaries across 3,400+ neighborhoods in 182 cities worldwide — factoring in taxes, cost of living, and exchange rates.

The Problem

Every cost-of-living calculator treats entire cities as one number. But "NYC" could mean Tribeca ($4,500/month rent) or Inwood ($1,800/month). "London" could mean Chelsea or Tottenham. These aren't the same financial reality.

Salary Converter solves this by comparing at the neighborhood level.

Features

  • Neighborhood-level comparisons — 3,400+ neighborhoods across 182 cities
  • Tax calculations — using OECD data (federal, state/provincial, local)
  • Cost of living — from Numbeo and Expatistan, weighted by neighborhood
  • Exchange rates — ECB data for international comparisons
  • Single & Family mode — family mode factors in childcare costs
  • Retirement/Savings tool — how long will your savings last in each city?
    • Visa requirements
    • Tax obligations
    • Quality of life scores

Data Sources

Data Source
Cost of Living Numbeo + Expatistan
Tax Rates OECD
Exchange Rates ECB

All comparisons use a NYC baseline (COLI = 100) for consistency.

Use Cases

  • Job offer comparison — Is $150K in Austin better than $190K in NYC?
  • Relocation planning — Will my salary go further if I move abroad?
  • Remote work negotiation — Push back on geo-based pay adjustments with real data
  • Retirement planning — Where will my savings stretch the furthest?
  • Expat financial planning — Compare purchasing power across countries

About

Built by Jason Iliou — originally to solve my own problem when relocating from Greece to London. I couldn't find any tool that compared neighborhoods instead of just cities, so I built one.

Free, no sign-up required, no ads.
