The calculator will allow users to turn standard budgets into regionally adjusted budgets.  This will happen by inputting regional rents, council tax, transport and insurance costs.   The unit of analysis is likely to be the family type and the calculator will adjust selected items in the budgets and consequential changes in tax and benefits in order to
calculate the gross wage needed to reached the low cost living standards for that household.
