The tax rate for $100,000USD/yr is roughly the same between California and British Columbia. But you only get healthcare in one of those.

- walrus01 5y agoExactly, although healthcare and taxes aside, the market ratio of gross salary (as measured in USD) for a certain position relative to cost of real estate and cost of living is a lot higher in many places in California than in BC. The same job might pay the equivalent of $130k USD/year in a big city in CA but would be $105k CAD/year (equivalent to $87k USD/year) in Vancouver. Not that housing costs in many big cities in CA aren't also ridiculous - but BC seems to be setting new records in unaffordability.
