Understanding the numbers

Net after tax — your total income minus all taxes for that country
Effective rate — the actual percentage of income paid in tax
Net disposable income — net after tax minus cost of living
vs Your Country — the annual difference compared to your selected baseline
Surplus income — what's left to invest after tax and living costs

Keeping rates current

Tax rates change — typically each January. Update any rate directly in the Edit Rates tab. All changes apply instantly across every tab.

⚠️ This demo shows illustrative sample scenarios. In the full tool, all rates were researched and verified against official sources as of June 2026 and are kept as accurate as possible — and every rate is fully editable, so you can keep it current as tax rules change. Rates are indicative and for comparison purposes only. Not financial, tax, legal or investment advice — always verify with official sources and seek qualified professional advice before making residency or financial decisions.
