How this illustration works

For each non-healthcare category, the tool multiplies your household’s USD spending by a fixed regional factor, then converts it using the exchange-rate assumption you enter. Household totals are used once, without additional couple or family multipliers.

The factors below are retained assumptions from the earlier calculator. They have not been validated against named source datasets. Use them to explore a scenario, then replace the suggested figures with local quotes when planning your move. They do not account for a different home size, car ownership, personal needs or all one-off moving costs.

An editable exchange-rate assumption is not a live market rate. The tool does not estimate tax liability or determine access to Italian healthcare.
