Remote work arbitrage
Earning from one country while living in another changes what your pay is worth. Enter your net monthly pay to see its feels-like value at local prices and how it compares with the local average.
€3,000/mo spent at local prices (Albania) feels like €4,982/mo at employer-country prices (Germany).
Price levels: Eurostat comparative price level indices (EU27 = 100). Remote-work shares: EU Labour Force Survey. Whole-economy estimates, not a budget; taxes not included.
Frequently asked questions
What does 'feels like' mean?
It rescales your pay by the ratio of the two countries' price levels: feels like = pay × (employer-country price level ÷ living-country price level). Spending euros where prices are lower stretches them further, so the same nominal pay supports a richer lifestyle.
Does this account for taxes?
No. Enter your net (after-tax) pay. Where you owe tax when working remotely across borders depends on residence rules and treaties - check that separately before relocating.
How reliable are the remote-work shares?
They come from the EU Labour Force Survey and cover employed people who usually or sometimes work from home. They describe the whole labour market, not just remote-friendly sectors.
