About Geo-Parity

Why it exists

Money doesn't mean the same thing in every country, and most online calculators quietly assume the United States. Geo-Parity treats every country as a first-class home base: pick where you are, and every figure is shown in your own currency, on real purchasing-power data. The goal is honest, comparable numbers for people living and working across borders — and for the AI agents increasingly doing that research on their behalf.

What's inside

• 🌍 Cost of Living & Salary Comparison — What your income is worth abroad, two countries side by side, everyday prices, and a cost-of-living-fair salary — in your currency, on real World Bank/IMF/OECD/PWT data.
• 📊 Local Salary Benchmarker — The real local wage ladder — survival, minimum, median, top 10%, top 1% — for setting fair bands or seeing where you stand.
• 🕘 Team Timezone Friction Scorer — Score a distributed team's timezone overlap (0–100), find the golden-hour everyone shares, and flag the isolated 'lone wolf'.
• 🧾 Freelance Rate Calculator — Contractor-vs-employee break-even and the hourly/day rate you must charge to hit a target net income — localised to your currency.
• ☁️ Cloud Region Selector — Pick the cloud region that minimizes latency for your real user base — and see whether a multi-region split pays off.
• 🔥 Geo-Arbitrage Calculator — Retire abroad on passive income (FIRE), or see how many extra months of runway relocating buys — two ways to make your money go further.
• 📅 Tax Residency & Schengen Tracker — One itinerary → Schengen 90/180 compliance, each country's tax-residency threshold (183-day, Cyprus 60-day, US SPT, UK), and the tax cost of triggering it.
• 🌤️ Quality of Life vs Cost Matrix — Internet, safety, healthcare, air and English — weighted your way — against what a month actually costs in 41 countries.
• 🛄 Global Mobility — Visas & Passports — Which nomad visas your income qualifies you for, plus how far your passport already takes you visa-free — two sides of mobility in one tool.

Built for humans and AI agents

Every tool is also a machine-readable service. Each has an open JSON API (CORS-enabled, no key required) and an MCP tool, so an AI assistant can answer "what's a fair Berlin salary for a $120k US role?" directly. The capability index lives at /llms.txt, the tool manifest at /.well-known/mcp.json, and the full specification at /openapi.json.

Data & methodology

Price levels and purchasing-power figures are blended from the World Bank, the IMF World Economic Outlook, OECD and the Penn World Table, taken as a per-country median and refreshed at build time. Other tools draw on published wage data, passport visa-free access indices, and quality-of-life indicators (internet speed, safety, healthcare, air quality). Every result is a model estimate, not a quote — see the Terms for the full disclaimer.

How it's funded

Geo-Parity is free to use, and the JSON API stays open and key-free. Funding comes from two places. First, optional paid plans — Pro, higher API limits, and a one-off dataset — billed through Stripe. Second, affiliate and sponsored links to relevant services (global payroll, nomad insurance, money transfer, and similar), where the operator may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Neither changes the underlying data or which option a calculation recommends: paying gets you convenience, never different numbers. Full detail is in the Affiliate & Sponsorship Disclosure.
