Tools as reported by the server

• compare_total_cost
  What a month actually costs in each of 41 countries on a stated income, and what is left over. Sums four lines that are kept from overlapping: rent (measured Eurostat city rents, HUD Fair Market Rents, or the price basket where neither covers a country), the everyday basket EXCLUDING rent (the baske
• calculate_ppp
  Given a US-denominated annual income and a target country code, returns the effective local purchasing power (income / pppIndex), the lifestyle equilibrium cost (income * pppIndex), and the purchasing power ratio (1 / pppIndex). Figures use real PPP data (World Bank, IMF, OECD, Penn World Table) rel
• localize_salary
  Convert a base salary from a home country into a cost-of-living-fair local equivalent: S_local = S_base × (I_target / I_home), where I is a US-relative price level. Omit `target` to receive a localized salary matrix across every country in the source — useful for pricing one offer across many market
• calculate_wage_bands
  Models a country's wage distribution as log-normal, calibrated from World Bank GNI per capita (mean) and the Gini index (spread: sigma = sqrt(2)*normInv((Gini+1)/2)), then returns the survival floor (essentials), statutory minimum (ILOSTAT where available, else curated; null where none exists), medi
• compare_occupation_pay
  MEASURED gross monthly earnings of employees by ISCO-08 major occupation group, from ILOSTAT — median and mean, in USD, PPP dollars and local currency, for 35 countries (a median is published for most of them). This is the site's only measured wage series; calculate_wage_bands is MODELLED, and the t
• build_pay_range
  Returns a floor, midpoint and ceiling salary for a broad occupation and seniority in a country, anchored on ILO's measured earnings where they exist and on the modelled national wage ladder where they do not — `basis` says which. Built for the employer side of pay transparency: since 7 June 2026 the
• check_schengen
  Validate a set of trips against the Schengen Area rule: a non-EU visitor may be present at most 90 days within any rolling 180-day window. Entry and exit days both count as days of presence; overlapping trips are de-duplicated. Returns days used in the current window, days remaining, an overall comp
• find_meeting_slot
  Given a set of cities/timezones and each participant's local working hours, find the longest UTC window where everyone is simultaneously within their working day (DST-accurate), AND score the team's overall timezone friction. Returns the overlap in UTC and in each participant's local time (or null w
• compare_contract
  Compute gross-to-net parity between a self-employed contractor hourly rate and an employee (W2/EOR) hourly rate, accounting for self-employment/income tax and self-paid health insurance, and return the break-even contractor rate. Uses transparent effective-rate tax presets per country, all overridab
• select_region
  Given a user-population breakdown, find the cloud host region that minimizes population-weighted round-trip latency (argmin_j Σ_i P_i × L_ij), and compute the optimal multi-region split (each user region routed to its nearest host). Latency is estimated from great-circle distance via a fibre-propaga

  Side-by-side comparison of two countries: US-relative price levels across every dataset (World Bank, IMF, OECD, Penn World Table, consumption basket), the consensus ratio, percent difference, and $100k salary equivalence in both directions.
• required_rate
  Given a desired annual net income, compute the freelance hourly and day rate required after taxes, self-paid health insurance, weeks off, and billable utilization. Uses the same per-country effective-rate presets as compare_contract; all overridable. Estimates only — not tax advice.
• check_residency
  Count distinct days of presence per country per calendar year and evaluate the generic 183-day rule, the US Substantial Presence Test (weighted 3-year formula), and the UK 183-day tax-year test. Early-warning day counter — not tax advice.

  The comprehensive engine: from one travel itinerary it returns (1) Schengen 90/180 tourist-visa status (days used/remaining, first overstay, longest compliant stay), (2) per-country tax-residency risk on each country's OWN threshold and basis — the 183-day rule, Cyprus's conditional 60-day rule (fla
• find_fire_locations
  Geo-arbitrage FIRE analysis: given a portfolio and safe withdrawal rate, returns every country where the passive income sustains a lean ($32k US-equivalent/yr), comfortable ($55k), upper ($90k), or luxury ($150k) lifestyle at local purchasing-power prices — plus FIRE numbers per tier, nomad-visa inc
• estimate_micro_costs
  Estimates local prices for a 32-item everyday basket (rent, pint of beer, groceries, transport, gym, …) in two countries, derived as usPrice × pppIndex^elasticity — non-tradables like rent swing harder across borders than world-priced goods like petrol (Balassa-Samuelson-style model). Returns per-it
• check_tax_residency_risk
  Remote Worker Tax Trap radar: evaluates how close a stay is to triggering tax residency (183-day rule with per-country variations across 43 tax jurisdictions) and estimates the tax owed on the FULL annual income if the threshold is crossed — comparing the standard resident effective rate against the

  Healthcare cost and financial exposure across 41 countries: out-of-pocket spend per person per year (US$), out-of-pocket as a share of all health spending, total health spend per capita (PPP international $), government funding share, physicians per 1,000 and dentists per 10,000. Figures are MEASURE
• compare_housing
  Housing cost and affordability across countries, built for remote workers. Returns monthly rent plus TWO ratios that together answer the real question: rent as a share of the LOCAL median wage (are locals priced out?) and as a share of YOUR remote income (can you afford it?). The gap between them -
• find_nomad_visas
  Digital-nomad visa Income Matcher: given a monthly remote income (any currency) and household size, computes each program's real income threshold (base plus its published per-dependent uplift) and returns the programs you qualify for plus the near misses just out of reach — with duration, renewabili

• calculate_runway
  For founders/freelancers stretching savings: computes how many extra months of runway relocating to a cheaper hub buys. Burn is split into fixed (location-independent — subscriptions, debt, insurance) and local; only the local slice scales by the target's cost-of-living ratio (city-level where a cur
