FAQ
What if my currency is different?
Convert both income and requirements into the same currency before using the calculator to keep comparisons consistent.
How should I handle visa fees?
Add expected fees to the savings requirement so the buffer includes application and legal costs.
Can I use this for multiple destinations?
Yes. Re-run the calculator with each country's thresholds to compare readiness across options.
Additional Information
- Income gap compares current monthly income against the stated minimum requirement.
- Buffer build time divides the remaining savings gap by your projected monthly surplus after living costs.
- Use destination-specific currency conversions before entering figures if requirements are listed in local currency.
