🎯Our Mission

Moving to a new city—whether for work, family, or adventure—is one of life's biggest decisions. Yet too often, people make this choice without understanding the true financial impact.

CostOfLiving.io was built to change that. We aggregate cost data from multiple reliable sources, normalize it for easy comparison, and present it in a way that actually helps you make decisions.

Whether you're an expat negotiating a relocation package, a digital nomad choosing your next base, or a family planning a move, we give you the data you need to plan confidently.
