Moving to a new city often involves important salary and cost-of-living considerations. Several user-friendly cost-of-living calculators on the Web can help you figure out your salary needs:

* Bankrate.com (www.bankrate .com/brm/movecalc.asp) Select your current city, the city you're going to and current income, and calculate relocation equivalents and expenses in more than four-dozen categories.

* CityRating.com (www.city rating.com/costofliving.asp) Calculates the cost of living in two different states based on your current income.

* Relocation Essentials (www .relocationessentials.com/aff/www /tools/salary/salaryanalyzer.aspx) Enter states and cities, experience level and occupation to learn salary needs adjusted and unadjusted for inflation.

* PayScale (www.payscale.com /cost-of-living-calculator) Comparison data between different locations offer charts detailing expenses by category and specific profession salary ranges.

* Salary.com (swz.salary.com /CostOfLivingWizard/layoutscripts /coll_start.asp) Explore cost-of-living differences based on old and new home and work locations, with brief analysis details about the move.
