A $75,000 salary may not feel like a lot in New York City, but it could get you far elsewhere.

To find out what $75,000 is worth in other US cities, we used Bankrate's cost of living calculator, a tool that's helpful if you're moving to a new city and want to see what how far your current income will go.

The United States Office of Management and Budget has a list of the country's biggest metros. We pulled the top 25 and plugged them into Bankrate's cost of living calculator, using a $75,000 income in Manhattan as the constant variable. The calculator did not provide data for some big metros, including Riverside, California.

Below, see how much more a $75,000 salary in New York will get you in 25 other cities.
