@fish: I think the same, that “net-adjusted disposable income” is not appropriate. Yesterday evening another idea came to my mind. Recently I have researched the OECD tax wedges. And this morning I found something more appropriate in the OECD database looking in the "tax wedge section". I found the following data per country. I chose Single person at 100% average earnings, no child out of various other options.
Net income after taxex in USD using PPP exchange rates
total gross earnings before taxes in USD using PPP exchange rate
http://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?QueryId=55129#
But the problem with the equal Cost of Living still exists. I applied the poverty line for one person in the US. That should be the best fit for the net income of one single person. By using this and the Comparative Price Levels I calculated the CoL of each country. In my opinion it is not the best approach, but it is a baseline for comparisons between countries. Of course, there will be no difference in the ranking if I use 7000USD instead of the poverty line.
I think, that this is the last version of such a "index". If anyone knows better data for CoL in each country which is not deduced (I don't know if this is the correct verb), feel free to share.
Ok, here it is: SR-Index v5
