Hi HN - Like many in tech, I've thought about relocating to different cities. But comparing salaries, income tax, housing costs, and overall cost of living is hard. It's hard to know where you'd actually save up more money. So I built a site to make it easier. It's my first HN project, hope you find it useful. Any feedback is appreciated, thanks!

Hi HN, I built AffordWhere to answer a question I kept running into: “If I earn X, where can I actually afford to live comfortably?” The site lets you compare cities based on income, rent, taxes, and day-to-day costs, and see how far a salary realistically goes in each place. It’s intentionally simple: Focused on affordability rather than averages Designed for relocation and remote-work decisions No account required I’d appreciate feedback on: Whether the affordability framing is useful Missing cost factors you’d expect Data accuracy or methodology concerns Link:…

Threw this together pretty quick because I kept seeing different takes on the new tax bill everywhere. Some sources saying it's bad for lower/middle class, others saying everyone saves money - figured I'd just build something to visualize it instead of trying to figure out who's right. Used Cursor to help build the website and make it interactive so you can plug in your own info. Hosted using Cloudflare pages. This definitely isn't perfect and you shouldn't use it for actual tax planning or anything serious. I'm not a tax expert, just someone who wanted to see the numbers laid out…
