Questions
How is the equivalent salary worked out?
Your salary is converted at today's exchange rate, then scaled by the World Bank price level of household goods and services in each country (how expensive everyday life is). The result is the salary you would need in the other country to live as well as you do now.
Does it include taxes and rent?
It compares spending power, before tax. Income tax and social charges differ a lot between countries, and rents in big cities are usually higher than the national average the price level is based on.
Is this what I would be paid there?
No. It shows the salary you would need, not what employers pay. Salaries depend on the job, the city and your experience; check job adverts in your field.
