Frequently asked questions
What is geoarbitrage as a FIRE strategy?
Geoarbitrage means holding your capital in one economy and then settling where the cost of living and taxation reduce the amount needed for independence. Well chosen, a host country can move your FIRE date up by several years.
How does the FIRE Ultimate score work?
It is a proprietary composite index that rates each territory across 8 weighted axes: taxation, cost of living, real estate, safety, ease of stay, and more. The weight of each criterion is transparent, bonuses and penalties included, and detailed in our methodology.
How many countries does the map cover?
The interactive map covers more than 80 destinations, each documented with real data on taxation, cost of living, and capital gains. You compare up to 3 territories side by side across more than 10 metrics.
What data feeds the comparator?
Taxation of dividends and capital gains, wealth tax and inheritance, cost of living index, real estate prices per square meter, global peace index, education level, currency stability, and ease of stay.
What makes a country good for geo-arbitrage?
A good geo-arbitrage country combines a cost of living well below your home country, favorable taxation on dividends, capital gains and wealth, realistic residency access and a sufficient level of safety. The map rates every destination on these axes through the FIRE Ultimate score, so you compare on data rather than instinct.
Is the geoarbitrage map free?
Yes, no credit card. The interactive map, the FIRE Ultimate score, the comparator and the choice assistant are free. Advanced filters, the score breakdown and the detailed tax and social data per country are part of Premium.
