How the calculation works

We scale your salary by the ratio between the two cities' monthly baskets — rent, groceries, transport passes, utilities, eating out and internet — repriced for the household you picked, including a childcare allowance for households with children. Income tax, health insurance and private-school fees are not included, because they depend on your nationality and contract.
