An amber submission count means fewer than 25 submissions back that row: read it as indicative, not definitive. City samples are smaller than country ones; every contribution sharpens them.
How the composite score is calculated
Every country and city is scored 0-100 by an equal-weight composite of three crowdsourced pillars. Higher is better. The weights are fixed and identical for every row.
Composite = 100 × mean( norm(savings) , norm(lifestyle) , norm(people_supported) )
norm(x) = (x − min) / (max − min) # min & max taken across all ranked
# countries (or cities), per pillarThe three pillars (⅓ weight each)
- Annual savings: euros kept per year after tax and cost of living (absolute €).
- Lifestyle level: self-reported quality-of-life, scale 1 (frugal) to 3 (luxurious).
- Avg. people supported: how many people the income supports (household-size signal).
- Each pillar is min-max normalized across the ranked set, so a score is relative to the other places shown, not an absolute index.
- The score always uses absolute € savings. The "Savings as % of income" toggle is a display view only and never changes a ranking.
- Rows backed by fewer than 25 submissions show their submission count in amber (indicative, not definitive) and can be hidden with the "high-confidence only" toggle.
