How much would moving abroad save you?

It takes your gross salary and applies each city's 2026 employee income tax and employee social contributions. Employer costs are left out. Where you work now uses the standard rules. Destinations use the expat regime a newly hired foreign executive would usually get, such as the Beckham law in Madrid or the 30% ruling in Amsterdam.

The board models a plain salary with no bonus, equity, pension contributions, benefits in kind or children. Payroll withholding also runs month by month, while the board shows the full-year result. Use it to compare cities, not to check a payslip.

A married couple with one earner and no children. Some countries reward that: France splits income across two parts, Germany applies splitting, and Spain allows joint filing. The UK, the Netherlands and Romania tax the earner as if single.

Each has conditions. The Beckham law needs 5 years without Spanish residence. The 30% ruling needs you to have lived more than 150 km from the Dutch border. Portugal's IFICI is limited to listed roles, so the board uses standard Portuguese rates. Each boarding pass lists what it takes.

It is a simplified illustration for orientation. Residency, timing, contracts and the pension you leave behind all change the answer, so take advice in both countries before you move.
