Expat Tax & Visa Calculator

About

Description:

Expat Tax & Visa Calculator gives US expats instant answers to the three biggest financial questions about moving abroad — without leaving  the page you're browsing.

THREE TOOLS IN ONE EXTENSION:

  ▸ FEIE vs FTC Tax Comparison
  Enter your income, filing status, and destination to see which US expat tax method saves you more. Compares the Foreign Earned Income        
  Exclusion against the Foreign Tax Credit with real tax bracket data for Portugal and Spain.

  ▸ Relocation Cost Check
  Get a quick financial snapshot: will you save or spend more abroad? Factors in tax impact, cost of living by city (Lisbon, Porto, Algarve,   
  Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia), and healthcare savings compared to the US.

  ▸ Visa Pathway Finder
  Select your income type (employee, freelancer, retired, investor) and destination to instantly see which visa fits — with monthly income     
  thresholds, tax regime access, processing times, and work permissions.
