What salary do you actually need to move — and can you even enter?
One cluster, two jobs: a relocation take-home comparator for people planning a move, and a passport-by-destination entry & trip-budget checker for the trip that comes first.
Built as a capped 20-page test — 10 move pairs + 10 passport routes — judged on indexing, clicks, saves and shares, not hype.
Featured in this prototype
Match your life, not just your salary
Pick a locked pair, then edit every number. The demo uses your inputs — it does not pull verified rent or tax data, so the result is only as good as the figures you enter.
✎ Try it: change the rent or tax fields and watch the equivalent salary update. In a live version these fields would link to dated, sourced ranges — in this prototype they stay yours to edit.
Your result
Equivalent gross salary needed in Tokyo
Illustrative maths only: (take-home needed = destination costs + your current cushion) ÷ (1 − destination tax rate). Not a tax calculation.
The relocation pairs
Popular US origins, destinations people actually search for — London and Singapore for careers, Bangkok and Vietnam for cost and lifestyle, Toronto, Sydney and Tokyo in between.
Passport in hand. Now what?
Select a locked passport route to see the prototype checker layout. Entry rules change often — this demo deliberately shows what to verify instead of stating rules as fact.
US passport → Japan
Before you book, verify these four things on the official destination government site — linked in the live version, confirmed at publish date:
- Entry permission type for this passport & stay length
- Passport validity window required beyond your return date
- Any pre-arrival form, authorisation or visa to apply for in advance
- Return / onward ticket and funds evidence, if asked for
Prototype status panel
No visa outcome is stated here. A live page would show a dated, sourced answer with a “last checked” stamp — never legal advice.
What will the trip actually cost you?
Simple, editable maths to sit beside every entry page — so a “can I go?” check becomes a “can I afford to go?” plan.
Flights are per person, the room is shared, daily spending is per person. Trip total is for all travellers; per person is trip total divided by travellers, with no extra flight added.
Estimated trip total, all travellers
Your numbers, your estimate. Live pages would add sourced typical ranges — this prototype does not invent them.
Why these 20 pages belong together
🏠 Move pages
Answer the long-term question: “Could I afford to live there?” Each one links down to the entry check for that destination — because a scouting trip usually comes first.
cross-linked
by destination
✈️ Visa & trip pages
Answer the short-term question: “Can I enter, and what will it cost?” Each one links up to the cost comparison — for travellers who start thinking about staying.
Save-worthy, not one-and-done
Moves take months to plan. A comparator people can edit and revisit earns saves and shares — two of the signals this 60-day test is judged on.
Dated & sourced, or not published
Costs and entry rules go stale fast. The live standard for this cluster is a source and a check date on every figure — which is why this prototype invents none.
A test, not a land grab
20 pages, one cluster, 60 days. If indexing, clicks, saves and shares don’t show up, the cluster stops — it doesn’t quietly become 200 pages.
