<prompt> Human: Any tips on how to more accurately estimate costs in another city? Im interviewing with a company that seems like theyre going to pay me a 40-50 raise to move to a city with a higher COL. I want to have a rough idea what my equivalent current salary is in the high COL city.I have found that COL calculators are unreliable and inconsistent -- I get wildly different results depending on which one I use, and they never take into account what area you live in. My guesstimate is that itll cost me about 50 more in housing plus a 20 increase in all other costs. Taxes are also higher in the new city so I factored that in to get my estimate, then subtracted that from my current COL to get a total cost of relocating so that plus my current salary would be the lowest I could accept without losing money.Does this make sense? Anyone have a better method?  <response>: If you listed where you live and where youre moving to and how much the salary would be in both places we could probably help more.
