FAQ
What is PPP salary comparison?
It estimates how a salary in USA may feel compared with India after purchasing power, local costs, rent, and savings pressure.
Is PPP the same as exchange rate?
No. Exchange rates show what currencies are worth. PPP and cost-of-living comparison estimate what salary may actually buy locally.
Does this include income tax?
No. This v1 comparison uses gross annual salary and estimated living costs. Tax-aware comparison can be added later.
Why does rent matter so much?
Rent is often the largest relocation cost. A higher salary can feel weaker if rent takes a much larger share of monthly pay.
Is the result exact?
No. It is a directional estimate based on static v1 PPP, exchange-rate, rent, and cost-of-living assumptions.
