Salary after tax in another country
Does the raise survive the border?
New country, new headline, new tax stack. If net falls, you did not get a raise.

What a raise is worth at home first
Before comparing countries, compare against staying. A 10% raise on $95,000 in Canada adds $9,500 to the headline and $6,575 to take-home: you keep 69% of it.
Any move has to beat that, after tax, after the exchange rate and after the cost of living there.
The salary you would need elsewhere to stand still
| Moving to | Gross needed there | A typical default salary there | Share of gross kept there |

| United Kingdom | £49,716 | £65,000 | 71.3% |
| Australia | $91,290 | $120,000 | 75.9% |

Moving between provinces
Federal tax, CPP and EI are the same across Canada outside Quebec, but provincial income tax differs. KeptOffer covers Ontario today; other provinces are coming, so a move between provinces can't be compared here yet.
How it works
- Take-home now and take-home there are each calculated with the full tax rules of that country.
- The figure there is converted into your current currency at the dated ECB rate, or at your own rate if you type one.
- The break-even is the gross salary there whose take-home equals what you keep today.
What this does not include
- Cost of living, rent and prices, which can matter more than tax.
- The tax year you move in: most countries tax a part year differently, and some tax new residents on worldwide income.
- Pension and social security rights you leave behind or build up, and relocation costs.
Questions people ask
Is a 15% raise abroad really a raise?
Only if take-home after tax and conversion goes up, and goes up by more than living costs do. The calculator above answers the first part; the second is up to you.
Why does the same salary keep a different share in each country?
Each country's tax-free amount, rates and social contributions are different. Compare the last column of the table above.
Which country's tax year applies?
This tool shows a full year in each country. In the year you move, you may be taxed as a part-year resident in one or both.
