For Americans & Canadians
Taxminator is designed around the questions US and Canadian earners actually ask — where to go, how to qualify, and what it would mean for their finances.
Step 01
Share your income, current country (US or Canada), remote work setup, and what matters most — tax savings, safety, healthcare, or lifestyle.
Step 02
Compare taxes, cost of living, nomad visas, and quality-of-life scores across 150+ countries side by side. See exactly how much you could save.
Step 03
The AI Planner builds a personalized roadmap — visa path, timeline, tax obligations, and checklist — tailored to your income and destination.

Estimates are illustrative only and do not account for all deductions, credits, tax treaties, or individual circumstances. Not tax advice — consult a qualified CPA before making decisions.
Know before you go
US and Canadian tax rules follow you abroad in different ways. These are the thresholds and rules that most people discover too late.
US taxes citizens on worldwide income regardless of where they live.
Canada only taxes non-residents on Canadian-source income — a major advantage once you leave.

Real people, real savings
"I was paying 38% effective rate in California. Taxminator showed me I could move to Portugal, use the NHR program at 20%, and save over $50k/year. The AI explained every step including FEIE and how to handle my brokerage account."

"As a Canadian freelancer I had no idea how departure tax worked. The chatbot explained my RRSP situation, T1135, and exactly what I needed to give my accountant. Saved me hours of billable time."

"I shared the comparison link with my accountant directly and she was impressed by the data. We went straight to strategy instead of spending an hour on basics. Already planning the move to Dubai."
