Converts gross pay between countries at purchasing power rather than the exchange rate, and flags the employer contributions and statutory benefits that change what the number means.
Converted at purchasing power, not the exchange rate. Employer social contributions and statutory leave are shown separately because they change what a gross figure means.
What this tool knows, and what it does not
It knows: Relative price levels, and the structural differences that make a gross figure mean different things in different places.
It does not know: Your tax residency, your visa position, and anything about your particular contract.

How to use it
1. Convert at purchasing power, not the exchange rate
The exchange rate tells you what your money buys if you spend it in the other country tomorrow. It tells you nothing about living there.
2. Find out what the gross figure includes
In some countries it is paid over thirteen or fourteen months, and in others employer social contributions sit on top of it and never appear in the number you were quoted.
3. Count the statutory benefits as pay
Where a country mandates several weeks of leave, public healthcare or a pension contribution, a lower gross figure can be a better package.
4. Then check the take-home separately
Marginal rates differ enormously and apply at different thresholds. A gross comparison is a starting point, not an answer.
