Most salary sites show you a number. WageAtlas shows you what that number is actually worth where you live. We take BLS wage data for 70+ professions and adjust it by BEA cost-of-living figures, so you can see "real pay" — not just sticker salary. Compare any two states: $95k in Texas might equal $115k in California once cost of living is factored in. Free, no signup. Built on official government data.
Hey PH 👋 I'm Eltjani, I built WageAtlas.
The frustration that started it: every salary site quotes one national number, but $80k in Mississippi and $80k in California are completely different lives. Nobody was showing the cost-of-living-adjusted version clearly.
So I combined BLS wage data with BEA cost-of-living figures across all 50 states and 70+ professions. The surprising part: the highest-paying states on paper often aren't where people keep the most. Pharmacists earn most in Alaska — but adjusted for cost of living, South Dakota wins.
It's free and needs no signup. Would genuinely love feedback on what professions or features to add next. Happy to answer anything about the data or methodology.
