What is the appropriate COL adjustment for comp. of $100K in Dallas when moving to NY or Chicago? COL adjustment calculators seem to give crazy numbers. Will need a 2br Apt/no roommates(if that helps)

I just went through this exercise (Austin - NYC / SF) 2.5x-3x, remember state taxes. Chicago probably more like 1.5x-2x.

Generally speaking unless there is a business need your salary will not be adjusted for relocation you prompted

like

2x if you want to have a 2br assume at least 4K in rent for something in a less prime neighborhood - more like 5-6k if you want something nice

You need to adjust your expectations. You won't have the same lifestyle in New York that you have in Dallas. Especially around housing. The live-alone lifestyle in NYC inherently involves having a studio.

Take 10% in state and local taxes alone for nyc before any differences in rent price 😔

Thanks for all the feedback. have a wife & 5 months old daughter. Hence the need for space. Leaning more towards Chicago to have a better/cost effective lifestyle.

Chicago isn't that much more than Dallas. Can't get as much house as Dallas in the city but can get something reasonable. NYC is way more expensive. 20% more would be my aim for Chicago. 60% at least for NYC.

Assume new offer.

Chicago totally doable. 3BD/2.5BA in the city (Logan) 2200 sqft = $2500 mortgage, taxes, HOA

Planning to live in the city ?

@M1.. May be start with City, eventually looking to move to the burbs.

Thanks D1, BCG2.

My partner and I are in the process of buying a PHEV that qualifies for the full non-refundable federal tax credit. We will both owe taxes in excess of the current $7,500 cap (will see if that increases with the new budget bill). If we both own the car (i.e. both names on the title), how do we manage filing for the tax credit when filing separately? Do we just pick one of us to file? Is there guidance on splitting the credit across owners? Does it matter what order our names are on the title?
