Salary Comparison Calculator – Compare Multiple Salaries
Curious about how salaries compare internationally? Our salary comparison calculator lets you see:
- OECD tax & social security data

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.
