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.

Educational estimates only. Results are not tax, legal, credit, employment, healthcare, or personalized financial advice.
