Frequently asked questions
- What is purchasing power in this matrix?
- Gross USD annual pay divided by our static country cost-of-living index (US = 1.0). Higher numbers suggest stronger buying power in this simplified model—not tax-adjusted take-home.
- Is this city-level data?
- No—country-level mid bands for selected roles. For hub cities, use our city comparison pages with city multipliers.
