We deal with items and personnel from multiple countries, and I was wondering if someone knew of a good cost-of-living calculator (and possibly salary charts) for the UK, Germany, and Italy. It would be nice to understand what typical salaries are and how they translate to the US market. I saw an article on a Vodafone night vision adapter, and thought I would see what wireless plans in the UK cost. Well, they seem quite high when compared to US plans, and the UK and Europe are all using GSM while our carriers use different technologies and phones.

Some people use the price of a Big Mac and combination with the exchange rate to calculate a comparitive cost of living.
It may seem like a bit of a joke, but it actually works.

That was the adapter, but it was on news.com.com I think. I thought the phone itself was cool and got to thinking about what it would cost to own a phone in the UK (I just got another phone a few days ago, this time from Sprint).
Thanks for the link, I don't know why I couldn't find one from them. I found their calculator for moving around in the US but not internationally.
