Headroom: Cost of Living
See where you'd thrive
Free · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
See what's left each month, and where your money would go further. It all stays private on your phone — nothing ever leaves.
Headroom shows how your money stands each month — in plain dollars, with no score, no grade, and no judgment. Enter your income and monthly costs and see what's left, where it goes, and how your month is trending.
Then it answers the bigger question: where would your money go furthest? Headroom ranks U.S. metro areas, states, and counties by how much you'd have left living there — on your own pay, or by picking from 300+ jobs and ranking by that job's local pay (real BLS wage + Census rent data).
• See where you stand — income, essentials, and your Safe Line at a glance
• Where your money goes furthest — real cost-of-living comparisons, never a nudge to move
• Same job, new place — how your career pays across the country
• Explain — ask plain questions about your own numbers; answers are computed, never made up
• Scan a bill to fill in a number, right on your device
Private by design: your income, rent, debt, and results never leave your phone. No account, no bank connection, no ads, no tracking. Comparison data is bundled in the app, so it works offline.
Educational information with cited public sources (U.S. Census, BLS, EIA) — not financial, legal, tax, or housing advice.
