Salary Translator
Enter a salary and two countries. The translator shows the amount needed in the second country to keep the same standard of living, using World Bank purchasing power parity data.
Where the salary stretches furthest
The same salary expressed as local purchasing power in each country. Higher values mean the money goes further.
Method
Each country has a price level relative to the United States, derived from the World Bank purchasing power parity conversion factor and current market exchange rates. A price level of 0.5 means a basket of goods costing $100 in the United States costs about $50 there at market exchange rates.
This is a country-level estimate, not a city-specific quote. Housing in capital cities usually costs more than the national average. Minimum wage pages on this site show the same adjustment applied to statutory wages.
