Three numbers, three perspectives
Tax Equivalent — the gross salary that produces the same net income after taxes and social contributions. Ignores cost of living.
Purchasing Power — adjusts for how far your money goes. A $5,000/month net goes further in Lisbon than in Zurich.
Real Equivalent — when both differ significantly, the truth is somewhere in between. Use the tax equivalent for salary negotiation, purchasing power for lifestyle planning.
