Frequently asked
- Is currency conversion enough?
- No. The calculator compares converted income against differences in rent, groceries, utilities, schooling, healthcare, and relocation costs.
- What if I leave destination expenses blank?
- They are estimated from your current expenses using broad internal planning assumptions. Manual destination values override the estimate.
- Does it include employer benefits?
- Yes. Employer-provided housing, transport, schooling, or health insurance can reduce destination expenses.
- Are the planning assumptions official guarantees?
- No. They are broad internal planning assumptions with confidence labels and caveats. Verify actual city prices before deciding.
- Is this immigration, legal, or tax advice?
- No. It is financial planning only and does not replace qualified advice.
