My company wants me to relocate from Halifax to Vancouver. It is my understanding that Vancouver’s cost of living is a bit higher than Halifax’s, so what percentage raise should I ask for to relocate?

Dang, that’s at least a 100% hike there champ.

And the sad thing is, a 100% hike won’t translate to even 50% more in savings. Heck, even 30% will be a stretch moving from Halifax to Vancouver.

I would go above the cost of living difference. You will be getting out of your comfort zone and will need to handle a ton of things on top. They need to pay up.

Even thinking about home internet, provincial id’s, insurance etc. are enough to give me goosebumps

Lol at this point might as well start looking for another job in Halifax

I’d say in addition to looking at cost of living comparisons, consider other factors like quality of life, personal and professional growth opportunities, and long-term career prospects that Vancouver might offer. Negotiate not just based on cost of living difference but also the potential disruption and settling-in costs.

A raise that goes beyond just the cost of living difference might be justified to cover these aspects as well.

smart

You can check cost of living comparisons on numbeo :)
