Why PPP matters
Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) adjusts salaries for the relative cost of living between two countries. A lower PPP value means prices are cheaper than the USD baseline, so each converted dollar stretches further.
- PPP data reflects typical consumer baskets instead of FX speculation.
- Use it to benchmark relocation offers, remote pay, and global team alignment.
- Pair PPP with salary bands, tax models, and personal lifestyle targets.
How PPP works
PPP vs FX
FX rates swing with markets. PPP anchors salaries to a stable consumption basket so you interpret everyday affordability instead of speculative moves.
Lifestyle salary formula
We take your tax-adjusted net salary, convert it into the destination currency, then divide by the PPP ratio. If PPP is below 1.0, your converted pay goes further.
Best use cases
Use PPP when negotiating relocations, remote salary bands, or cost-of-living adjustments. Combine it with company ranges and budget forecasts.
PPP calculator FAQs
Answers to the most common questions about PPP ratios, FX data, and scenario comparisons.
How does the PPP-adjusted salary calculator work?+
We take your origin-country gross salary, subtract any pension contributions, optionally apply national income tax, convert the net salary into the destination currency using live FX, and finally adjust for Purchasing Power Parity so you see the lifestyle-equivalent income.
Which FX rates and PPP data do you use?+
FX comes from our Cloudflare Worker that caches daily snapshots, and PPP ratios are based on 2024 World Bank International Comparison Program data using USD as the baseline.
Can I compare different relocation scenarios?+
Yes. Save up to four scenarios after running calculations, then trigger the comparison summary to see which country provides more lifestyle power in a consistent USD-equivalent baseline.
Does the calculator replace professional tax advice?+
No. The tool uses simplified national tax brackets without state or local nuances, so treat the results as directional guidance rather than personalized financial advice.
