Cost of living in Lebanon: $2,418 leftover

Cost of living in Lebanon, as leftover, is $2,418 a month for one adult, renting a 1-bedroom on local pay — take-home after tax minus rent of $1,111 and the rest of the modelled month. A price index would say non-housing costs sit near the US average (index 1.00). Pennsylvania charges a 3.07% flat income tax, plus a 1.00% city wage tax. Lebanon is a modelled metro: rent, wages and prices come from Zillow, Census and BEA, not a hand-written city essay.

Leftover in other metros nearby

Same household. Each leftover is take-home after that metro's tax minus its rent.

Leftover is take-home after federal, state and city wage tax, minus asking rent at the bedroom count you set, minus a modelled month of groceries, utilities, healthcare, transport and childcare. It is not a cost-of-living index and not a moving quote. Change the job, remote versus local pay, or bedrooms and the ranking is a different city.
