We use a "Pure Data" approach, pulling raw facts from high-authority sources including Numbeo 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.

The Nomad Score prioritizes internet speeds and short-term costs. The Retiree Score shifts weight toward Healthcare Quality and Safety.

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.
