Every country metric, one place
Net Life Value is our composite score — but not the only way to compare countries. Here you'll find every public dataset we track, grouped by theme and linked to its ranking page. All sources are free, official, and refreshed quarterly.
Core NLV
The central score that answers "where does my salary live best?" Computed from taxes, cost of living, and quality of life.
NLV Score
The geometric mean of Economic Power and Quality of Life. The central score.
NLV at $75K Rankings
Where $75K gross salary produces the best life, ranked.
Highest NLV Average
Average NLV across 5 salary levels — the definitive ranking.
Economic
Take-home pay, cost of living, and real prices — the money dimensions of relocation.
Take-home at $100K
Net pay after real tax brackets and social contributions.
Real Price Index
30 everyday products priced in local currency, ranked.
Cheapest European Cities
Cost of living ranked across European cities.
Quality of Life
Health, safety, and long-term trends — the lived experience beyond dollars.

Public datasets beyond the NLV score — happiness, inequality, air quality, education, human development. Complementary, not part of NLV.
Happiness (WHR)
Cantril life-ladder from the World Happiness Report.
Income Inequality (Gini)
Gini coefficient — 0 perfect equality, 100 maximum inequality.
Air Quality (PM2.5)

About this data
Every metric on this page comes from an official source (World Bank, WHO, OECD, UNODC, UNDP, 30 national tax authorities, 15 government statistics offices). No AI-generated numbers. Data is refreshed quarterly via a fully automated pipeline. The full list of sources with citations lives on the methodology page.
