Estimates only — disclaimer
- Savings are before voluntary pension / retirement contributions.
- Clothing and personal care are folded into lifestyle expenses.
- A positive USD savings figure does not mean equal purchasing power — USD uses a nominal FX snapshot, not PPP.
- Data is a snapshot — verify current figures before making relocation decisions.
- Tax is a simplified effective rate (federal + sub-national for US/CA/CH only) — not a full bracket calculation; excludes filing status, deductions, benefits-in-kind, and contribution caps.
- Healthcare models out-of-pocket costs only; the funding scheme is shown per country.
- Relocation sunk costs are a one-time estimate kept out of monthly savings math; the cash cushion is a reserve you keep, not a sunk cost.
- Role salary is modeled at the national (country) level — cities inherit their country's p25/median/p75 distribution.
- Non-salary comp (RSU/equity + bonus) is informational total-comp context only, not part of the savings math.
