RELOCATION
–and the after-tax cash-flow effect
When contemplating a move to California, the “sticker” shock can be daunting. Although compensation packages are “robust”, affordability of “inflated” home prices and a higher cost of living is unknown.
The financial analysis from The Delta Group replaces confusion and procrastination with “black and white” bottom line calculations to let individuals focus on the virtues of the career and family move.
Adapted to your particular details, (i.e., debt, children, second income) spreadsheet models replaces “back of envelope” scribble and midnight cold sweats. Our five-year look projects beyond short term relocation benefits and offers a realistic view of the basic compensation package.
The Delta Group makes the cost of relocation more accurate and realistic.
Having worked with employers and new hires for more than 25 years, we’ve developed a spreadsheet model to identify down payment requirement and calculates the after-tax cash flow effect of various home price scenarios. This analysis clarifies and accurately predicts the need for financial assistance from employers. Job candidates can more accurately balance housing costs against their new salary and make decisions with confidence.
