# SnapCostOfLiving > Compare cost of living across hundreds of cities and countries worldwide. Data-driven snapshots of rent, food, transport, salaries and affordability — with NYC as the baseline (Cost Index = 100). SnapCostOfLiving helps people making real relocation decisions: expats, remote workers, students, retirees and families. Every city page includes a structured cost breakdown, an Affordability Score (0–100), a relative Cost Index vs NYC, and contextual comparisons to similar cities. We do not collect emails and we present data as a fixed snapshot rather than a live feed. ## Core tools - [Compare cities side by side](/compare): Pick any two cities and see rent, groceries, transport and overall affordability differences. - [Find your affordable city](/find-your-affordable-city): Filter cities by budget, region and lifestyle to discover where your money goes furthest. - [Cost of living calculator](/cost-of-living-calculator): Estimate how your current salary translates to another city. - [Browse all cities](/cost-of-living): Index of every city guide on the site. - [Browse all countries](/countries): Country-level cost overviews. ## Hub pages - [Cheapest cities in Europe](/cheapest-cities/europe): Most affordable European cities ranked. - [Cheapest cities in Asia](/cheapest-cities/asia): Most affordable Asian cities ranked. - [Cheapest cities in North America](/cheapest-cities/north-america): Most affordable North American cities ranked. - [Cheapest cities in South America](/cheapest-cities/south-america): Most affordable South American cities ranked. - [Best value cities — global](/value-cities/best-value/global): Where salaries stretch furthest worldwide. - [Expat guides](/expat-guides): Cost-of-living guides written for expats and relocators. - [State tax rates (US)](/state-tax-rates): US state income tax overview for relocation planning. - [Budget $2000/month](/budget/2000): Cities you can comfortably live in on $2,000/month. - [Budget $3000/month](/budget/3000): Cities you can comfortably live in on $3,000/month. - [Articles](/articles): In-depth guides on relocation, taxes, healthcare and lifestyle costs. ## About - [About SnapCostOfLiving](/about): What we do and who we serve. - [Methodology](/methodology): How affordability scores and cost indices are calculated. - [Data sources](/data-sources): Where our cost data comes from. - [Transparency](/transparency): Limitations and confidence levels. ## Optional - [Privacy policy](/privacy-policy) - [Terms of service](/terms-of-service) - [Legal disclaimer](/legal-disclaimer) - [Cookie policy](/cookie-policy) - [Contact](/contact)
