Example Calculation

Let's look at an example to understand how the calculator works:

Scenario

  • Monthly Income: $3,000
  • Housing: $1,200
  • Food: $400
  • Transportation: $200
  • Healthcare: $300
  • Specialized Services: $500
  • Assistive Technology: $200

Calculation

Total Monthly Expenses = $1,200 (Housing) + $400 (Food) + $200 (Transportation) + $300 (Healthcare) + $500 (Specialized Services) + $200 (Assistive Technology) = $2,600

Cost of Living Index (CLI) = $2,600 / $3,000 = 0.8667 or 86.67%

This means your total expenses are 86.67% of your monthly income, indicating a moderate cost of living relative to your income.
