Method, assumptions, and limits
This comparison uses expected take-home income, not gross salary. It excludes the value of retirement matches, equity, paid leave, job security, career growth, taxes not reflected in take-home pay, and quality-of-life factors. Moving-cost break-even divides one-time costs by estimated monthly improvement.
