Many professionals considering moving from Japan to Iceland often overlook the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) difference. While a salary in Iceland might look higher on paper, the cost of living could make it worth less.
Understanding the real value of your income is crucial when negotiating a remote salary or planning a relocation. This calculator helps you determine the equivalent salary you would need in Iceland to maintain your current standard of living in Japan.
Based on PPP data, the price level in Iceland is approximately 1.47x that of Japan. This means things are generally more expensive in Iceland.
