Affordability Overlay
Cost of living vs. take-home pay by country
The Affordability Overlay layers cost-of-living indices on calculator results so you see purchasing power—not just pre-tax salary—when comparing Dubai, Lisbon, Bangkok, or Berlin at the same gross pay.
TL;DR — Key Takeaways
- →Net salary from /calc is adjusted by city-level COL multipliers (sourced from published indices). Useful when two countries show similar tax but very different rent and consumption costs.
- →Overlay is indicative; your personal budget may differ from index baskets.
