ACCRA Cost of Living Index Web Calculator is now available for license!

Do you want to let your clients know how much it will cost to live in your community as compared with another?  Do you need to add something to your site that will engage your web visitors?

C2ER announces the availability of an exciting new web-based calculator that can be easily adapted for your own website! The ACCRA Cost of Living Index (COLI) Web Calculator allows your web visitors to make their very own cost of living comparisons between U.S. cities. An annual license provides visitors to your website a comparison of prices in your city to those in many others.They can also enter their after-tax income and “calculate” how much they would need to make in a new city to maintain their current standard of living. 

The calculator uses continuously updated data pulled directly from the highly regarded ACCRA Cost of Living Index to make these comparisons.  The ACCRA COLI data is based on the prices of more than 60 goods and services, updated quarterly.  The ACCRA COLI is highly regarded as the most accurate and reliable source of data comparing costs from city to city.   

The Council's staff provide the option of  customizing the ACCRA COLI Calculator for your needs, hosting it through our server, and providing technical assistance.  Others are using our data for their webiste.  Here are a couple of examples that you trigger ideas for you:
