Instrument panel · 11 tools · calibrated data
Free decision tools for moving abroad — backed by calibrated climate, tax, and cost-of-living data across 190 countries. No login. No paywall. The same data layers that power the live map.
Pick your home city and a destination — the real-USD gap across rent, groceries, and restaurants for 478 cities. Lisbon $2,004/mo vs Austin $2,542 — 21% cheaper.
Enter a monthly budget and see every city you can afford, rent included — 324 of 478 cities fit under $2,000/month. Filter by region and sunshine hours.
Month-by-month calibrated temperature, rainfall, and annual sunshine for any two of 478 cities. Lisbon 2,772 sun hr/yr vs London 1,478 — 88% more.
Pick your passport and see all 47 countries at once — max legal stay, the visa or residency route that unlocks it, and its income requirement. 129 routes verified against official sources.
Pin any two cities or countries on the map and see side-by-side deltas across sunshine, temperature, rainfall, tax, cost of living, and safety. Pre-pinned links available from any country page.

→Why GeoRank tools
Calibrated, not crowdsourced for climate. Sunshine comes from SARAH-3 satellite data (EUMETSAT) merged with ERA5 reanalysis, bias-corrected against 182 WMO/KNMI/ECA&D ground stations. The formula actual ≈ 1.14 × ERA5 − 1,550, fit on a 56-station subset, achieves R²=0.82 against ground truth. Temperature and rainfall come from CHELSA v2.1 (1981–2010), with rainfall additionally corrected against ~25,000 GHCN-M stations — see the calibration methodology.
Numbeo 2026 for cost, with PPP cross-reference. Cost-of-living tools use Numbeo's 12,743-city, 9.8M-price dataset, cross-checked against OECD Purchasing Power Parities 2026 and IMF WEO. Accuracy bands ±15% noted upfront — no false precision.
Nine layers in one map. Unlike single-purpose tools (Numbeo: cost only; Wise: forex only; Expatistan: cost only), GeoRank stacks climate, outdoor comfort hours, tax, cost of living, visas, risk, and community signal on the same map at the same time. Pin two places, see everything at once.
Free, no login, no paywall. All tools, all 190 countries, all layers — open. Methodology and datasets are CC-BY-4.0 licensed.
Pin your home, pin a destination, and see calibrated deltas across every layer in one view.
