CityTrek - City Comparison Tool

You might love your city—but is it quietly draining your bank account?

From rent hikes to hidden taxes to overpriced groceries, the real cost of your city might be more than you think. Our comparison tool helps you quantify your lifestyle tradeoffs—and maybe even spot a smarter place to call home.

Step 1: Input Your Current City

Start with where you live now. We’ll show:

Your estimated net monthly income
Average rent for a 1-bedroom flat
Core monthly costs: transport, groceries, healthcare
Local tax rate for your salary range

This gives you a baseline: what you're earning, spending, and saving (or not).

Step 2: Add a Comparison City

Now pick a city you’ve thought about moving to—or one we recommend based on your profile.

You’ll instantly see:

How your take-home pay compares
Whether rent is higher or lower
If you’d save more or less each month
Visa/work eligibility and lifestyle score

Example:

Berlin vs. Amsterdam
You earn slightly less in Berlin—but save 25% more thanks to lower rent and social taxes.

Step 3: Explore Your Savings Potential

We calculate your monthly surplus in each city:

City	Net Income	Estimated Spend	Monthly Leftover
London	$4,700	$4,050	$650
Lisbon	$3,200	$2,100	$1,100
Dubai	$5,600	$3,300	$2,300

You might earn less elsewhere—but keep more.

Bonus: Discover Cost Traps

Our tool also reveals:

Rent-to-salary ratios
Public transport vs. car dependency
Price index trends in groceries, utilities, childcare
City inflation risk over 12 months

These factors eat into your lifestyle more than salary ever shows.

Why It Matters

You work hard for your income. But if your city eats most of it, you're working for the landlord, not for your future.

The goal?
Live somewhere that lets you save, explore, and breathe—without budget anxiety.
