PPP adjusted salary examples: five illustrative runs
Example 1: Tax off baseline
| Item | Value (illustrative) |
|---|---|
| Origin → Destination | Country A → Country B |
| Salary, pension, toggle | $70,000, 5% pension, tax off |
| FX snapshot | $70,000 → $68,000 equivalent |
| PPP ratio | 0.80 |
| PPP adjusted salary | $85,000 |
Takeaway: Even tax off, PPP lifts the adjusted figure when the destination is cheaper on average.

| Item | Value (illustrative) |

Are these real-world results?
No. They are illustrative only. Your inputs, FX, and PPP ratios will change the numbers.
Why does the PPP ratio matter?
It adjusts for average price levels. A lower ratio can increase PPP adjusted salary for the same FX amount.
How does FX affect these examples?
FX snapshots can change daily. Rerun on the same day to compare fairly.
What does the tax toggle change?
On adds a simplified tax estimate; off leaves the base at gross-after-pension.
How do I compare destinations?
Use the compare destinations guide and keep inputs the same while changing only the destination.
Can I save and export these runs?
Yes. Save scenarios, then export PDFs with clear labels. Avoid personal details.
Is PPP city specific?
No. PPP is national average data; city costs can differ.
Is this advice?
No. It is educational and illustrative.
