Imported data are shown at their original geographic scope. Living budgets use your inputs rather than invented pay or rent estimates.
Pay reference ↗Questions to start with
Does a higher US salary always leave more each month?
Check whether salary, bonus and benefits are separate and align the gross or net basis. Do not count the same benefit twice.
Read the guideSeparate workplace location from permission to work
Confirm the actual city, remote-work arrangement and required attendance before budgeting housing and travel. A headquarters address is not necessarily the workplace.
Read the guideUse metropolitan pay data without confusing geographic boundaries
Metropolitan statistical areas can cross city boundaries and differ from everyday city or Bay Area names. Read the formal geography before interpreting a figure.
