Very accurate for relocation calculations:

It says that Houston, TX is more expensive than Los Angeles, CA. I can attest that's not the case
For the US, UK and Australia, Gooroo has city level salary stats (based on job ads).

I've started a spreadsheet with some data I've gathered from previous HN threads. Feel free to edit it with reliable data.

Of course there will be some variance based on the person reporting in terms of the lifestyle they are used to and whether they have dependents to support.
WolframAlpha will do some of the relocation calculations for you including groceries, health care, etc.

Recently, I talked to a bunch of developers in different parts of the US and around the world.
Some developers are happy with $100k salaries, and others need a minimum of $200k because of the city they choose to live in.
Could you please answer the question by naming your city and the ideal salary you require.
For Example:
Berlin, $80k
This will give me an idea of what salary is a good salary for a certain city, because $100k in Boulder is not the same as $100k in NY. At least, that is what I've learned so far.
Thank you very much in advance :)
