Tools for pricing the move
The parts of the site you operate rather than read. All three run on the same dataset as the guides, against a US national average of 100.
Cost of living calculator
Put in what you take home now and see what it is worth in each of the 15 countries, once local price levels are applied. Nothing is sent anywhere: the arithmetic runs in the page.
Open the calculatorUS vs country comparison
The United States against one country at a time on the same twelve measures — price level, rent, groceries, transport, utilities, restaurants, net salary, income tax, VAT and healthcare — with the winning side and the margin on every line.
Compare a countryCountry leaderboard
Every country ranked on one measure at a time, so you can sort for the thing you actually care about rather than reading fifteen guides to find it.
See the rankings
Every figure these tools use is the same figure the country guides publish, with the same source and the same review date beside it. They model price levels and typical costs; they cannot model your own tax position, and none of them is advice.
Then read the guide
A number is a shortlist, not a decision. These are where most people go next.
