SF is slightly more expensive for housing but NYC has higher taxes. Borderly's comparison tool shows the full breakdown.

Both cities are insanely expensive! Borderly shows NYC is about 5-8% cheaper overall for daily expenses.

Check the salary calculator on Borderly - it factors in state taxes, CoL, to show real take-home purchasing power.
