Making relocation decisions clearer
We believe everyone deserves to know where their money goes further—before they make a life-changing move.
The Problem
When you're considering a move to a new city, the math is surprisingly complicated. Sure, rent might be cheaper in Austin than San Francisco—but what about state income tax? What about federal tax brackets? What's your actual take-home after everything?
Most "cost of living calculators" online just compare rent or give you vague percentages. They don't show you the real number that matters: how much money will you actually have left each month?
Our Solution
Realocation calculates your actual monthly surplus in any city—factoring in federal income tax (using real 2024 brackets), state income tax, and median rent prices. No guessing, no percentages, just real dollar amounts.
Enter your salary, pick your current city, and in 10 seconds you'll see exactly which cities would leave you with more money in your pocket.
Who We Are
Realocation was built by a small team of remote workers who've personally navigated the "where should I live?" question multiple times. We got frustrated with the lack of clear, actionable data—so we built the tool we wished existed.
We're not a big corporation. We're just a few people who believe in building useful tools that help people make better decisions.
