How to Compare Salaries in Different Countries
Use our disposable income calculator to compare salaries worldwide. Find your equivalent salary by country, check salary comparison across countries, and estimate your cost of living-adjusted earnings. It uses the latest available OECD data to calculate taxes, cost to the employer, and social security contributions for various countries.
Disposable Income Calculator – Find Your Equivalent Salary
Curious about how salaries compare internationally? Our salary comparison calculator lets you see:
- OECD tax & social security data
- Country-specific tax brackets & employer costs
- Employer & employee social security contributions
- PPP-adjusted income for better cross-country comparisons
- Daily exchange rate updates from the European Central Bank
Data pertains to a single individual with no children. The calculator assumes that you are a tax resident in the selected country and that you are employed full-time. It does not account for additional deductions, surtaxes, tax credits, or lump-sum taxes.
Purchasing Power Parity (PPP)
Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) is a way of comparing the purchasing power of different currencies and living standards between countries. It's calculated by comparing the cost of a standard "basket" of goods and services in different countries.
Here's how it works:
- We start with your after-tax income in the local currency.
- We then convert this to USD using PPP exchange rates, not market exchange rates.
- The resulting PPP-adjusted income represents how much your income would be worth if you were living in the United States, considering the relative cost of living.
For example, if your PPP-adjusted income is $50,000, it means your purchasing power is equivalent to someone earning $50,000 in the United States, regardless of your actual location or currency.
Sources
The calculator uses data from the following OECD sources:
- OECD Tax Explorer: Central Government Income Tax
- OECD Tax Explorer: Sub-central personal income tax rates-progressive systems
- OECD Tax Explorer: Sub-central personal income tax rates-non-progressive systems
- OECD Tax Explorer: Employer Social Security Rates
- OECD Tax Explorer: Employee Social Security Rates
- OECD Tax Explorer: Purchasing Power Parity
- European Central Bank: Daily Exchange Rates
