About ReloMath

ReloMath is an independent publisher of U.S. cost-of-living and relocation data. We answer one question: if you move from City A to City B, what salary do you need — and what will the move cost?

Our data philosophy

We use official government data — BLS Regional Price Parities from the Bureau of Economic Analysis and HUD Fair Market Rents — rather than crowdsourced or self-reported indexes. Every verified data point links to its official source.

Entries that have not yet been verified against official sources are clearly labeled as estimates and excluded from our sitemap until verified. We call this our DATA-GATE system.

What we are not

Not a real estate broker

Not a moving company

Not a mortgage lender

How we make money

ReloMath earns revenue through affiliate referrals — we may earn a commission if you click a partner link (such as a moving quote service) and complete a transaction. All affiliate relationships are clearly disclosed next to each link. We never accept payment to feature or rank a partner, and we never show fake affiliate buttons — every CTA that appears is either a genuine partner link (disclosed) or a neutral tip.

Our editorial content (city data, salary calculations, guides) is produced independently and is not influenced by any commercial relationships.
