A small web tool exploring how far money actually goes in different countries.
Most currency converters return numbers without context.
TruCost was created to explore how exchange rates and purchasing power translate into everyday life.
The tool combines real exchange rates with purchasing power parity data to give users a clearer sense of relative spending power.
Instead of simply converting currencies, the interface introduces contextual comparisons based on common expenses such as groceries and everyday staples.
The project was developed as a lightweight web tool on Replit.
Exchange rate data is combined with purchasing power metrics to provide contextual comparisons that feel intuitive rather than abstract.
A simple exploratory tool that translates economic data into something more human and understandable.
