I think the difference in taxes are a very minor factor compared to the difference in pre-tax compensation in the US vs Canada.

- senecaso 6y agothey sure are! From the digging around I have done, you can expect a 40% cut from a Bay area salary to Vancouver. The question then becomes, what sort of standard of living could I expect to maintain after taking such a large cut, and that's what I was trying to surface with this calculator.
- glitchc 6y agoIt's a triple whammy. Compensation is lower, taxes are higher, food is more expensive. Only healthcare is cheaper. It's mostly paid for, prescriptions included, if you work for a company with a decent health plan. Cars are also more expensive overall (ownership + insurance).
