The Problem
Relocation math is broken
Most people compare salaries, not what they actually keep. A €100k offer in Dubai isn't the same as €100k in Berlin. ExpatCalc shows you the real picture.
?

Tax rates vary 0% to 52%

Income tax, social charges, solidarity surcharges. The gap between gross and net changes your life. Most expats discover this too late.

?

Cost of living is invisible

Zero tax in Dubai sounds great until €3,000/mo rent and €800/mo childcare eat your savings. The full picture includes housing, healthcare, and childcare.

?

Tax incentives are hidden

Italy's 90% exemption. Spain's Beckham Law. Denmark's 27% flat rate. These regimes save €10,000-25,000/yr, but most people don't know they exist.

Why People Use It
Built for real decisions
Used by remote workers, expats, and companies relocating talent.
"I was about to accept a Dubai offer at a lower salary, thinking zero tax made up for it. ExpatCalc showed me the CoL would actually leave me worse off than staying in Berlin."
Software Engineer
Relocated from Germany
"The tax optimization section alone saved me €14,000/yr. I had no idea Italy's impatriate regime existed. My accountant confirmed everything ExpatCalc flagged."
Product Manager
Relocated to Milan
"We used it to model 6 countries for our distributed team. The EOR comparison and visa pathways saved us weeks of research. Now it's part of every hiring conversation."

FAQ
Common questions
How accurate are the tax calculations?
We use official tax brackets, social charge rates, and cost of living data for each country. Figures are estimates for comparison purposes. We recommend validating with a local tax advisor before making final decisions, and the Premium Report includes this as a recommended next step.
Do you account for special tax regimes?
Yes. The Premium Report includes detailed breakdowns of expat-specific regimes like Spain's Beckham Law, Portugal's IFICI, Italy's Impatriate Regime, Netherlands' 30% Ruling, Denmark's Researcher Scheme, and many more. Each includes eligibility criteria, estimated savings, and impact rating.
What employment types are supported?
Employee (standard employment contract), Contractor/Freelancer (self-employed), and EOR (Employer of Record). Each has different social charge rates and tax treatment per country, and the calculator adjusts accordingly.
How is this different from a cost of living calculator?
Most calculators only show expenses. ExpatCalc models the full picture: gross income → taxes and social charges → net income → expenses → actual savings. Plus tax optimization opportunities, visa pathways, and risk analysis. It's what you actually need to make a relocation decision.
Can I compare more than 2 countries?
Yes. You can compare up to 40+ countries simultaneously. The comparison table, expense breakdown, and projections all scale dynamically.
Is my data stored?
No. All calculations run in your browser. We don't store your income, family details, or any personal information. No account needed.
