🇺🇸 United States

The US taxes worldwide income. Investment profits held over a year get lower rates (0-20%). There's an extra 3.8% tax on investment income above $200K. State taxes vary — Florida and Texas have none, California goes up to 13.3%.

🇵🇹 Portugal

Portugal taxes investment income at a flat 28% — dividends, interest, and capital gains. Crypto held over 1 year is tax-free. The old NHR program ended; the new IFICI (NHR 2.0) only benefits qualifying professionals, not retirees or passive investors. Portugal has excellent tax treaties with most countries.

20% flat tax for qualifying professionals

Must not have been a Portugal tax resident in the prior 5 years. Only for qualifying professions (tech, science, healthcare, senior executives). Employer must export >50% revenue. Does NOT apply to passive investment income — only employment income.

Is It Worth Moving for Tax Reasons?

For investors living off portfolio income, the difference in taxes between countries can be enormous. Someone earning $120,000/year from investments might pay $30,000 in taxes in one country and $0 in another. Over 10 years, that's $300,000 — enough to fundamentally change your retirement.

But taxes aren't the whole picture. Cost of living, healthcare quality, visa requirements, and lifestyle all matter. This simulator helps you see the full financial picture so you can make an informed decision.
