Many professionals considering moving from United Kingdom to United States often overlook the Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) difference. While a salary in United States 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 United States to maintain your current standard of living in United Kingdom.
Based on PPP data, the price level in United States is approximately 1.43x that of United Kingdom. This means things are generally more expensive in United States.
You are comparing GBP vs USD. Exchange rates fluctuate daily, but PPP provides a more stable long-term view of economic value and living standards.
