Cost-of-living figures are monthly all-in estimates in USD for the destination city and are indicative, not a quote. "Raise" = annual burn reduction as a share of your gross income. This tool is for planning only and is not tax or financial advice — tax residency, visa eligibility, and exchange rates materially change real outcomes.
