Cost of Living Comparison
Using your gross income from the Military Compensation Calculator, choose the state you're currently stationed in to see what you'd need to earn elsewhere to maintain the same standard of living.
Please complete the Military Pay Calculator first to view cost of living comparisons.
Equivalent salaries are calculated by adjusting your gross income by the ratio of each state's cost-of-living index to your current state's index. Cost-of-living data sourced from the Missouri Economic Research and Information Center (MERIC).
