Behind the Budget: Why We Built This
Welcome to thenomadbudget.com. We believe that the dream of working from a beach in Bali or a cafe in Lisbon shouldn't be ruined by a surprise $500 credit card fee or a visa bill you didn't see coming.
Our founder spent years navigating the "hidden taxes" of nomad life—from the 3% bank conversion losses to the 20% Airbnb premium. We realized that standard cost-of-living sites only tell half the story. They show you local prices, but they don't show you Nomad Prices.
Our Mission
To provide the most accurate, real-time financial data for the modern remote worker. We model our data on 2026 inflation rates, current visa regulations, and actual crowdsourced nomad spending to ensure your "Freedom Fund" is always enough to keep you moving.

After years of traveling across 30+ countries while working remotely, our founder experienced firsthand the financial surprises that can derail a nomad adventure. From unexpected visa fees to hidden bank charges, the "nomad tax" adds up quickly. This calculator was built to help fellow remote workers avoid those surprises and plan their freedom with confidence.
