Grammar
if comma rule
Use a comma if the if clause is at the beginning of the sentence.
Example: If I go to London, I will visit the Tower.
Don’t use a comma if the if clause is at the end of the sentence.
Example: I will visit the Tower if I go to London.

Q) The rule doesn't apply at all times, does it?
I found a sentence that doesn't apply that rule.
If society changes its requirements there will, of course, be added costs to pay, at least during the transition.

Example: If I go to London, I will visit the Tower. Usually a comma helps, or at least doesn't hurt. However, sometimes you will see it omitted, depending on author preference and overall sentence structure and complexity.
