About LiveWhere
LiveWhere (livewhere.co.uk) is a free cost of living comparison tool that presents publicly available UK government data. By using this site, you agree to these terms.
Not financial advice
LiveWhere presents publicly available data for informational purposes only. It does not constitute financial, legal, property, or tax advice. The information on this site should not be used as the sole basis for financial decisions including where to live, whether to buy or rent property, or how to manage your finances. For personalised advice, consult a qualified professional.
Data accuracy
We source our data from official UK government publications including the Office for National Statistics, HM Land Registry, HMRC, and devolved government bodies. While we take care to process and present this data accurately, we cannot guarantee that all figures are error-free. Data is refreshed periodically and may not reflect the very latest published figures. The "last updated" date on each page indicates when the data was last refreshed.
Calculator estimates
The salary calculator and stamp duty calculator provide estimates based on standard tax rates and rules for the 2026/27 tax year. They do not account for individual circumstances such as pension contributions, student loans, benefits in kind, marriage allowance, or other adjustments. Actual tax liability may differ. These tools are for illustrative purposes only.
Affordability scores
The affordability scores and rankings on this site are calculated using a simplified formula based on average rent, council tax, and earnings data. They do not represent a complete picture of living costs and should be used as a general guide only.
Intellectual property
The design, code, and editorial content on LiveWhere is owned by LiveWhere. The underlying data is sourced from official government publications under the Open Government Licence v3.0 and is freely available from the original sources cited on each page.
Links to other sites
LiveWhere contains links to external websites including government data sources. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of external sites.
Limitation of liability
LiveWhere is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. We accept no liability for any loss or damage arising from the use of information on this site, including but not limited to financial decisions made based on data presented here.
