In Hawaii the paradise tax is a term used to describe the cost of living difference between Hawaii and the mainland. Alternatively, it has been restated as "The price you pay for paradise" or "the cost of living in paradise".
Specifically, it refers to generally lower income versus cost of living.[1] It is not an actual tax but instead just a perceived persistent difference between costs among locations. Randall W. Roth, in a volume entitled The Price of Paradise, listed a number of possible causes, including shipping costs, land availability, and differences in regulation. [2]
