Many professionals considering moving from Taiwan to Malaysia often overlook the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) difference. While a salary in Malaysia might look lower on paper, the cost of living could make it worth more.
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 Malaysia to maintain your current standard of living in Taiwan.
Based on PPP data, the price level in Malaysia is approximately 0.11x that of Taiwan. This means your money goes further in Malaysia.
