How Cost of Living Adjustments Work
Cost of living indexes compare the relative expense of different cities. Scale your salary proportionally to maintain the same purchasing power.
Formula
Equivalent Salary = Current Salary x (New City Index / Current City Index)
An index of 100 is the national average. Higher means more expensive.
