Make room for the unexpected.

Your emergency reserve stays outside the runway calculation. Choose an amount that reflects your own circumstances.

Give every cost a place.

Get current quotes for housing, travel, insurance, and documents. A destination name labels your plan; it does not supply local prices.

A starting point, not a promise.

The estimate assumes your income and expenses stay steady. It does not determine visa eligibility, taxes, or whether you can legally work abroad.

A few things worth knowing

Does this calculator include local prices?

No. Enter your own quotes and estimates in USD. The destination name labels your plan; it does not supply prices, visa eligibility, or exchange rates.

How is my savings target calculated?

Moving costs plus your emergency reserve, plus the difference between monthly costs and income multiplied by the number of months you want to cover. If income covers monthly costs, the target still includes moving costs and your reserve.

Can I buy a plan or get the ebook here?

Not yet. Paid plans and ebook purchases are coming soon. The calculator and saving on this device are free.
