Expat Move

Moving to a new city? What will life be like? How much money will you need?

Moving to a new city or a new country can be a life changing decision. Taxes and cost of living will all be very different. How do you ensure that you are being paid enough to enjoy the same quality of life as your home? This guide will help answer just that. It does that by analysing the differences in taxes and cost of living to come up with an equivalent salary in your desired destination.

Simply enter your your current salary and the app will work out differences in cost of living and taxes to come up with a recommend salary in the new city you are looking to move to.

BONUS FEATURE: The app now has a new feature whereby you select what is important to you out of 10 different criteria (freedom, money, safety, education, etc), and the app will rank and score 116 countries to identify the ideal country for you.

The app covers 550+ cities in 116 countries (i.e. 150,000+ combinations of moves) so you can be assured that your hometown and destination of choice is likely covered. If your city isn't covered, use the closest one that would have a similar cost of living to yours.

General Disclaimer: Please always remember to seek professional advice and use this guide as exactly what it says on the tin, a GUIDE. Taxes are a complex topic and often require highly experienced and qualified professionals to advise on various matters. This app makes a basic assumption of a single person with minimal deductions. It also does not take into account social security / national insurance deductions beyond the basic tax payments. The cost of living difference is also an average estimate and the exact circumstances and lifestyles of every individual will vary, often significantly.
