A salary comparison tool that adjusts pay offers for local prices, rent and state income taxes across U.S. metro areas.

Landing page captured for the 2026-10-16 issue.

For: Job seekers comparing offers across U.S. cities
Worth noticing: The page lists 387 metro areas; its city comparison feature covers the 180 largest.

Field notes

The page dates its underlying figures rather than presenting them as timeless: prices are from 2024, rents from FY2026 and wages from May 2025. Its source list names Census metro population estimates, BEA regional price parities, HUD fair-market rents and BLS occupational wage data. The homepage also presents a 0–100 offer score, though the extracted text showed the calculator still loading.
