Where in the world should you live?
Most relocation research starts and ends with cost of living. Relocator surfaces 9 other dimensions — so you rank countries by what actually matters to you, not just what is easy to Google.

How it works
From “I’m thinking about relocating” to a shortlist worth researching — three steps.
Answer 6 questions about your priorities
The questions surface dimensions you may not have considered — civic culture, warmth, school environment, religious freedom. The tool educates before it ranks.

10 dimensions, every score traceable
Each dimension is a weighted composite of institutional indices. You set the weights. Slider to zero excludes a dimension entirely.
Built on institutional data
Every score traces to a public, peer-reviewed, or government-issued source. No editorial opinion. No proprietary black boxes. All sources are free and updated annually.

What this tool is not
Being clear about limits is part of the product. Relocator narrows the field. It does not make the decision.
- Visa advice or immigration guidance
- Tax planning or financial advice
- City-level or neighbourhood data — country averages only in V1
- A final decision — a shortlist of candidates worth investigating further
- A match score or compatibility percentage
- Comprehensive liveability coverage — each of the 10 dimensions covers one angle
What you leave with
A shortlist of 5 to 8 candidate countries ranked by your actual priorities — not cost of living alone, not a publisher’s opinion. From here: visa research, housing search, boots on the ground.
Every score is traceable. If a dimension’s weight does not fit your situation, adjust it. If you want to understand a formula, the methodology page explains every calculation in plain language.
