Basically I'm just whining because the data is a tad incomplete and everyone still thinks I live in a part of the country that doesn't exist.

It's actually really slick and well put together.

Pros:

It's actually quite fun to play around with

Cons:

I live in New Mexico. My friends live in New Mexico. I don't see any cities from New Mexico. Makes it less entertaining.

Yeah, I think they have to work a bit more on the data, but such a calculator is very helpful... By the way, I am planning to move to the Philippines and I have already found on all the information regarding the prices for the rent, food, transportation, but definitely, I will check the information on this calculator as well, in order to be sure of the data provided. Actually, such a calculator and all the sites that provide information about the costs of living in another country or city are very helpful...
This looks interesting. Is there an api available for this information? I have a project that could make great use of it.

You can also use the source from which we got the data, the cost of living index:
This is cool and now I feel even more broke

Thanks Denis! We are always working on adding more data, and hope to add EMEA areas in the future!
This is a really nice looking tool, but seems to have some odd cities missing... Portland, OR is missing which seems odd, but the tiny Oregon town of Klamath Falls is in the data set.
Hope you'll be bringing European countries data soon!
This is very slick and fun to play around with :)

Thanks Rahul!
Pretty cool! Hurts seeing housing prices 60%+ lower basically everywhere haha. Also, can't search for Columbus by name.
Nice APP.. what about inserting some European cities in the game? For example, what about... Barcelona?
