Living Wage Calculator

Families and individuals working in low-wage jobs make too little income to meet the minimum standards of living in their community. The Living Wage Calculator was developed to help individuals, communities, employers, and others estimate the local wage rate that a full-time worker requires to cover the costs of their family’s basic needs where they live. Users can review the living wage in any county, metro area, or state for households with up to two working adults and zero to three children.
