Overall Winner

About Cuba

Rock-bottom rent near $340/mo suits only the most adventurous, cash-flexible budget retiree willing to trade legal certainty for savings, since no retirement or digital nomad visa exists and a pathway to residency is difficult. Low crime numbers get undercut by weak healthcare (39.8) and limited English-speaking doctors. Bad fit: anyone needing formal residency, reliable internet, or care for chronic health conditions.

About Dominica

Progressive tax rates up to 35% will hit remote workers hard once local income kicks in. Workers eyeing the $4,166.67/mo income threshold some remote-worker visas use should look past this for the rock-bottom rent: $283.68/mo for a city-center 1BR. English as the official language removes a major relocation barrier, and a 95.73 political stability score adds real peace of mind.

We use a "Pure Data" approach, pulling raw facts from high-authority sources including private sources for real-time crowd-sourced pricing, the World Bank for stability metrics, and official government visa portals.

The FIRE Score is a dynamic metric based on your Monthly Income vs. Total Expenses. It calculates your potential savings rate; the more you save, the higher the score.

Our indices (Quality of Life, Healthcare, Safety, Cost of Living) are relative metrics. For example, a higher Quality of Life Index indicates better purchasing power, safety, and healthcare, while a higher Cost of Living Index means the country is more expensive relative to others.

The Retiree Score is a holistic measure of how suitable a country is for long-term retirement. It is calculated from three main factors: healthcare system quality, safety index, and the general cost of living.

The Nomad Score measures how well a country supports remote workers. It is calculated from average internet speeds, the cost of living, and the safety index.

The "Single" toggle calculates costs based on a 1-Bedroom apartment. "Family" assumes a 3-Bedroom apartment and the expenses for a household of four.
