Compare your take-home pay in several countries

Enter the gross salary in the currency you know, then add countries. The tool converts the same amount into each currency at the official exchange rate, applies that country's tax and social insurance rules for a single expat employee, and converts the take-home pay back into your currency so the figures line up.

Take-home pay adjusted for each country's price level, from the World Bank. 1,000 dollars buys more in a cheap country than in an expensive one, so a country with lower take-home pay can still come out ahead.

We rank every country we cover by take-home pay on the same salary and turn the rank of the first country in your list into a score from 1 to 10. A 10 means it is among the highest for that salary.
