About the MIT Living Wage Calculator
The MIT Living Wage Calculator is an essential tool for estimating the cost of living in your community or region. It helps individuals, families, and researchers understand the wage rate required to cover basic family expenses.
Why Use the MIT Living Wage Calculator?
Unlike the minimum wage, which often fails to keep up with inflation, the living wage calculation accounts for typical expenses such as food, childcare, health insurance, housing, transportation, and other basic necessities.
How It Works
Our advanced calculator uses data modeling principles from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Living Wage Calculator to provide realistic estimates. Simply select your location and family size (number of adults and children) to see the required hourly wage.
- Compare Minimum Wage vs. Living Wage.
- Plan your family budget effectively.
- Understand the economic requirements of your state.
