I am currently in the midst of accepting an offer from my company to move to Vancouver from Calgary to take on a new role. I would like to negotiate my compensation based on the cost of living being higher in Vancouver than in Calgary. I am having trouble finding credible data to support the theory that Vancouver is more expensive than Calgary as well as I am not certain how to accurately compare the cost of living between the two cities.

Does anyone on CP have any thoughts on how to properly compare the costs between the two cities so that I can make a informed business case for an increased salary?

Thanks in advance.
