About LandedLife

Our mission

Moving abroad is one of the biggest decisions you will ever make. It affects your tax, healthcare, pension, career, family life, and daily happiness. Yet most of the information available online is fragmented, out of date, or coloured by someone trying to sell you a visa service.

LandedLife exists to fix that. We build free, data-driven tools that help you evaluate whether moving abroad is right for you, which country suits your situation, and what it will actually cost. Every number links to its source. Every tool runs in your browser. No sales pitch attached.

How our tools work

Our five core tools — the readiness assessment, visa checker, tax comparison, cost calculator, and country comparison — use official government data, verified cost-of-living indices, and published tax rates. We do not invent numbers or rely on anecdotal evidence.

The free tier gives you full access to all statutory calculations. AI-enhanced analyses, which layer personalised insights on top of the raw data, are available 3 times per month for free users and unlimited for Pro subscribers.

Our data methodology

Every data point in our tools is sourced from official publications: HMRC, Autoridade Tributaria e Aduaneira, Agencia Tributaria, the UAE Federal Tax Authority, and Direction generale des Finances publiques. Cost-of-living data comes from Numbeo, the OECD, and Eurostat. Healthcare rankings reference the WHO and Euro Health Consumer Index.

Each data point displays a source link and a "last verified" date. Our automated monitoring checks for changes to key government pages daily, and we manually verify all data quarterly.

Who we are

LandedLife is part of the Ant vs Bear portfolio of specialist tools and information platforms. We are a small team of product builders and content specialists who believe complex decisions deserve better tools, not just more blog posts.

How we make money

LandedLife is free to use. We earn revenue through Pro subscriptions and affiliate partnerships with services that are genuinely useful to people relocating (currency transfers, health insurance, legal services). Our editorial content is never influenced by commercial relationships. For full details, see how we are funded.
