Make sure that the salary that you will have
is enough to enjoy a happy life

Before you accept a new position in a new city you need to find out what kind of salary you will need there so you don't end up regretting the move later on. Depending on your employer's offer, you may also need to explain why your salary expectation is what it is.

You can do this with our independent salary and cost-of-living calculations. You will find out how much should be your new salary in the new city with a salary conversion. You can then use this independent report to negotiate a fair compensation for your transfer. Bring hard facts into your negotiation.

Your report will calculate, based on your current salary, how much you should earn in the new city to keep your quality of life unchanged. You will get factual data on the cost-of-living difference between your new home and your current city, including a breakdown by category and a sample of prices in both cities.
