This is such a neat calculator!

http://cgi.money.cnn.com/tools/costofliving/costofliving.html?step=res ult¤t_salary=50000&fromStateMenu=FL&from_city=Jacksonville+FL&to StateMenu=IL&to_city=Chicago+IL&x=30&y=7

So to live comparably in Chicago, you will need to make $58,558.33

If you move to Chicago from Jacksonville:

Groceries will cost 12% more
Housing will cost 42% more
Utilities will cost 22% more
Transportation will cost 4% more
Healthcare will cost 11% more

Good luck!
