Living Wage Calculator

The Living Wage Calculator is a tool that estimates the amount of income a worker needs to cover basic living expenses in a specific area, such as housing, food, healthcare, transportation, and other essentials. Unlike the minimum wage, which may be set by law and may not meet all living costs, the living wage reflects the actual income required for a decent standard of living. It helps individuals, employers, and policymakers understand what wages are necessary for financial stability and supports efforts to promote fair compensation.
