What is this calculator?
This calculator converts your income into a unit everyone understands: Big Macs. Enter your annual salary, the burger price where you live and your weekly hours, and it shows how many burgers a year of work buys, broken down by month, week, day and hour worked. Handy for comparing job offers or weighing up a move abroad.
How does it work?
Your salary is divided by the price of one Big Mac, then split across months, weeks, days and hours worked using your stated weekly hours over 52 weeks. The idea borrows from The Economist's Big Mac Index. Figures ignore tax and cost of living, so use them for perspective.
