Tax Scenario Calculator

Directional estimates only. Actual liability depends on income sourcing, treaty elections, and whether physical presence / bona fide residence test is met.

W2 income abroad: W2 wages earned while physically living and working abroad generally qualify for FEIE under the physical presence or bona fide residence test — the work location, not employer location, is what matters. FICA taxes (7.65% employee side) continue regardless of foreign residence and are not offset by FEIE. Confirm your specific sourcing rules with a US expat CPA before any move (Greenback Tax, Bright!Tax, or Nomad Capitalist are all experienced with this).

Estimates use FEIE ($132,900 for 2026) with a 0.65 FTC credit factor on US residual tax. Currency: 1 USD = 0.92 EUR. Greece/Italy €100K flat tax shown as USD equivalent. Non-dom regimes (Malta, Singapore, Uruguay) show $0 local tax but higher US residual since no FTC offsets. Data sources: IRS Publication 54, country tax authority websites, Investropa.
