The calculator compares cost of living between your origin country and each destination using our index (calibrated across 95 countries). It adjusts your salary proportionally — if a destination costs 40% less, you'd need 40% less income to maintain the same lifestyle.
Yes. For each country, we apply progressive income tax brackets and social contributions using OECD and KPMG data. The effective tax rate shown combines both income tax and mandatory social contributions.
Local Benchmark shows the typical mid-career salary (3-7 years experience) for your selected profession in that country, based on Glassdoor and PayScale data. If the benchmark is higher than the equivalent salary, it means local salaries are generous relative to the cost of living — a strong signal for that destination.
