This is letting the market decide isn’t it? This calculator would have no region-specific wages if the USA were the kind of socialism (I think) you’re talking about. Figuring out how much an individual (or family) needs to make to survive doesn’t need to say anything about the social, economic or political ideology. As far as I can tell it’s just saying “if you live here, basic survival costs this” Edit: Italics formatting.
