About CushyIndex
Salary decisions need more than a gross figure
CushyIndex helps people compare salary, housing and living-cost scenarios when considering a move or a job offer. Its calculations are planning estimates, not personalised payroll or tax advice.
Founder and publisher
CushyIndex is published by Adrien de Malherbe, an entrepreneur based in Barcelona. Adrien is responsible for the product and editorial direction. The site does not claim that its models have been independently certified by a tax professional.
How we earn trust
We separate official reference material from model assumptions, publish known limitations and document substantive corrections. Read our source register, calculation methodology and editorial policy.
Your inputs
Calculations run in your browser. Submitted inputs can be retained temporarily in the current browser tab to carry your scenario into Salary Swap. They are not included in custom analytics events. See the privacy policy for storage and analytics details.
