cityparity

cityparity compares two cities on the numbers that actually decide a move. Give it a salary and a family situation and it returns take-home pay, a full cost breakdown (housing, healthcare, childcare, food, transit, travel home, property tax), the equivalent salary you'd need in the target city, and the non-cash deltas people move for: statutory vacation, parental leave, and universal healthcare. It can also rank cities by a composite quality score and look up inbound-worker tax regimes (Italy impatriati, Portugal IFICI, and others). About 165 cities across 69 countries. Free, no API key, hosted Streamable HTTP.

Tools · 6

compare_cities
Compare two cities for one household: take-home pay, full cost breakdown, the equivalent target salary needed to match source net cash, non-cash lifestyle deltas (vacation, parental leave, healthcare), and a 0-100 quality score on five weighted dimensions. Use this for a head-to-head between two named cities; for a single city call get\_city\_summary, and to rank many cities call rank\_cities. Read-only, no side effects; returns a text summary plus structured JSON. RSU income is NOT a parameter; RSU is treated as source-only because grants typically do not follow you across employers.
get_city_summary
Concise profile of one city: currency, tax shape (bracket count + top rate + payroll/national insurance), headline costs (rent / groceries / transit / childcare), safety-net values (parental leave, vacation, universal healthcare), and data freshness. Lighter than compare\_cities; use when the user is asking about one place rather than a comparison. Read-only, no side effects; returns a text summary plus structured JSON.
get_inbound_tax_regime
Look up a city's inbound-worker tax regime, the special reduced-tax schemes for relocating workers that general cost-of-living tools do not surface. Returns null when the country has no modeled regime (most cities). Modeled regimes: Italy impatriati (Milan, Rome), Portugal IFICI (Lisbon, Porto), Belgium expat (Brussels), Poland B2B ryczałt (Warsaw, Kraków), Greece inbound (Athens). Each entry includes the mechanic (reduction percentage or flat rate), duration, income cap if any, and a conservative eligibility hint. Read-only, no side effects; returns a text summary plus structured JSON.
get_safety_net
Look up safety-net values (parental leave weeks + paid percentage, universal healthcare flag, vacation days, public holidays) for 1-20 cities, plus the safety\_net dimension score (0-100) for relative strength. Use when the user is asking specifically about family / leave / healthcare benefits rather than a full cost-of-living comparison. Read-only, no side effects; returns a text summary plus structured JSON.
list_cities
List all city slugs supported by cityparity, grouped by country. Call this first to discover valid slugs before any other tool; the optional country filter narrows to one country. Read-only, no side effects; returns a text summary plus structured JSON.
rank_cities
Rank supported cities by composite quality-of-life score across five weighted dimensions (financial, healthcare, vacation, childcare, safety\_net). Returns top N (default 10), with filters for country, countries, region (europe/asia/north\_america/south\_america/oceania), has\_universal\_healthcare, include\_cities, and exclude\_cities. Use this to shortlist across many cities; for a head-to-head between two named cities use compare\_cities. The same scenario is applied to every city so scores are directly comparable (default: single person, 2BR rent, $100k USD-equivalent gross). Read-only, no side effects; returns a text summary plus structured JSON.
