About Us
AffordCity was created to answer a simple but important question: “Can I actually afford to live there?”
Whether you’re considering a job offer in a new city, planning a move abroad, or simply curious how your current expenses compare to another place, our free Cost of Living Calculator gives you a clear, straightforward breakdown — covering essentials like housing, groceries, transportation, and everyday living costs.
Our Mission
We believe that cost-of-living information should be accessible, easy to understand, and free from unnecessary complexity. Our goal is to help people make more informed decisions about relocation, salary negotiations, and budgeting by presenting reliable, easy-to-read comparisons between cities.
How It Works
Our calculator uses aggregated, publicly available cost data across categories such as housing, food, transportation, and utilities. We combine this information into a simple comparison tool so you can see, at a glance, how far your money will go in different cities.
Why Trust AffordCity
- We are independent and not affiliated with any real estate, relocation, or financial services company.
- We aim for transparency — data sources and assumptions are described alongside our results where possible.
- We continuously review and update our information to keep it as accurate and useful as possible.
AffordCity is a work in progress, and we’re always looking to improve. If you have feedback, suggestions, or spot something that doesn’t look right, we’d love to hear from you.
