Moving Country

The move costs more than the movers.

Relocating to, from or within Europe means two things running at once: a budget that keeps growing and a list of registrations with deadlines nobody tells you about. This workbook holds both, and recalculates the whole plan when your move date slips.

Nine tabs, all formulas live

• Countdown — 33 tasks from day −90 to +90, each date calculated from your move date. Counts what is done and what is overdue.
• Move budget — 18 cost lines, estimate against actual, measured against a ceiling you set.
• Cost of living — 14 monthly categories before and after, and the number that actually decides the move: how many months until it pays for itself.
• Admin tracker — 24 registrations with status, date and reference number.
• Days & residency — 100 trip rows, day counts per country per tax year, flagged against the common 183-day threshold.
• Country notes — 15 questions to answer from official sources for both countries.
• Plus Setup, Start here and Licence.

European by default

Most planners of this kind are built for the United States. This one is not. It assumes nothing about your tax system — and it hard-codes no country’s rules, because they differ across 27 member states and change every year. You get the structure, the deadlines and the arithmetic; you fill the rates from official sources.
