The True Cost of Living
You are too busy working and living your life to calculate the true cost of living, so we did the math for you.
Inflation is reported as a percentage. Your bills arrive in dollars. The CPI is the government's official percentage. TrueCOLA publishes the dollars behind it: what it costs to live and how much income is left after the bills, for every congressional district, every month. The CPI report was built for economists. This report is built so anyone can see the true cost of living.
