Tax brackets, deductions, credits, and filing rules change every year and differ by household situation — the numbers on this site are modelled from published tax authority schedules and should never replace a tax advisor or immigration lawyer before an actual move. Quality of life weights reflect editorial choices (safety 25%, healthcare 25%, cost 25%, climate 15%, internet 10%), not a universal standard. Data pulled from World Bank, WHO, OECD, Eurostat, and 24+ national tax authorities (IRS, HMRC, DGFiP, BMF, etc.).
