A monthly ledger, line by line
What the salary actually buys
Relative to a NYC baseline of 100. Higher means your net stretches further here.
How we count, and from whom
From statute, not estimate
Brackets reflect the published 2025 single-filer schedule. Social security is applied as a flat charge against gross before progressive bands.
Aggregated, then audited
Crowdsourced consumer prices are blended with Eurostat HICP indices, then sanity-checked against rental listings and municipal data.
ECB reference, daily
Cross-currency comparisons use the European Central Bank's daily reference rate against the euro, fixed at 14:15 CET.
