The whole map, at a glance.

Every country I can back with sources, on one page: the cost of the ground, and which of the patterns that matter for an exit each one carries. A check means the pattern is present — not a verdict.

Price it in your money

Tell me where you live now and what you spend a month, and every cost here becomes your number — the same life, priced country by country, in your own currency.

Where you live now

You spend, per month

Shown in

A guide, not a quote. I move your monthly spend by each country’s official price level (Eurostat and the World Bank, whole-economy, EU-27 = 100) — no exchange rates, so it stays in your own currency. But averages hide rent and the city you pick, and changing country is rarely a straight swap. Read these as the right ballpark, then price the real thing.

The number is each country’s cost of living (EU-27 = 100 · 2025), priciest first. The three micro-states (Monaco, Andorra, Liechtenstein) sit off this grid — no Eurostat figure, and you can’t simply move in. Every check restates a verified row; “Passport” is the general naturalisation clock in years. Open a country for the detail, the hedges and the sources.

Every figure on this page was verified against official sources in July 2026. Open the full map
