Basically I'm just whining because the data is a tad incomplete and everyone still thinks I live in a part of the country that doesn't exist.

It's actually really slick and well put together.

Pros:

It's actually quite fun to play around with

Cons:

I live in New Mexico. My friends live in New Mexico. I don't see any cities from New Mexico. Makes it less entertaining.

Yeah, I think they have to work a bit more on the data, but such a calculator is very helpful... By the way, I am planning to move to the Philippines and I have already found on costoflivingreports.com all the information regarding the prices for the rent, food, transportation, but definitely, I will check the information on this calculator as well, in order to be sure of the data provided. Actually, such a calculator and all the sites that provide information about the costs of living in another country or city are very helpful...

This looks interesting. Is there an api available for this information? I have a project that could make great use of it.

@adammydesign I'm not sure if they have an API, but there are other 3rd party APIs you could use. Here's one: https://www.numbeo.com/api/doc.jsp

@adammydesign You can also use the source from which we got the data, the cost of living index: http://coli.org/products/
