Salary Comparison Calculator – Compare Multiple Salaries

Curious about how salaries compare internationally? Our salary comparison calculator lets you see:

1. OECD tax & social security data
2. Country-specific tax brackets & employer costs
3. Employer & employee social security contributions
4. PPP-adjusted income for better cross-country comparisons
5. 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) 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:

1. We start with your after-tax income in the local currency.
2. We then convert this to USD using PPP exchange rates, not market exchange rates.
3. 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.

The calculator uses data from the following OECD sources:

1. OECD Tax Explorer: Central Government Income Tax
2. OECD Tax Explorer: Sub-central personal income tax rates-progressive systems
3. OECD Tax Explorer: Sub-central personal income tax rates-non-progressive systems
4. OECD Tax Explorer: Employer Social Security Rates
5. OECD Tax Explorer: Employee Social Security Rates
6. OECD Tax Explorer: Purchasing Power Parity
7. European Central Bank: Daily Exchange Rates
