Purchasing Power Index (US=100)

Raw value is a local purchasing-power index, with the United States set to 100. It combines monthly net salary with private-consumption PPP price levels. Rents and housing burden are scored separately.

How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is a purchasing-power index with the United States set to 100. A value of 120 means the average monthly net salary has roughly 20% more local consumer purchasing power than in the United States; a value of 50 means roughly half the US level.

Nomadino combines two components: average monthly net salary and the price level for private consumption. The wage component comes from the maintained Nomadino net-salary indicator. The price-level component primarily uses World Bank indicator PA.NUS.PRVT.PP, the PPP conversion factor for household and NPISH final consumption expenditure.

The simplified calculation is: monthly net salary in US dollars multiplied by the official exchange rate, divided by the private-consumption PPP factor. This gives a purchasing-power-adjusted monthly wage in international dollars, which is then normalised to the United States.

For countries and territories without complete World Bank coverage, Nomadino uses maintained replacement values. They are checked against available net-salary values, administering states, regional comparators, OECD and Eurostat PPPs, and low-weight plausibility sources such as Numbeo. Replacements are not treated as official point measurements.

Rents are intentionally excluded. Housing costs strongly affect real life, but they are separate Nomadino indicators such as salary-to-rent ratio and housing costs. GDP per capita at PPP is also not used directly because it measures economic output, not the take-home wage of a typical worker.

The score rises monotonically with the visible index value. The scale is not capped at exactly 100: values above the US level remain differentiated so countries with clearly higher net-wage purchasing power are not all treated as identical.
