This product was not featured by Product Hunt yet. It will not be visible on their landing page and won't be ranked (cannot win product of the day regardless of upvotes).
Compare what remains from your salary after tax, rent, healthcare and living costs across 8 countries. Obolus turns an international job offer into a realistic monthly budget and savings outlook.
I built Obolus after noticing how often international job offers get compared by gross salary alone.
But €60k in Germany, Austria or Ireland can lead to a very different monthly reality once taxes, housing, healthcare and everyday costs are included.
Obolus turns that decision into one guided flow: → calculate take-home pay → compare rent and cost of living → see what actually remains each month → turn the result into a budget and longer-term savings outlook
It currently supports 8 countries. Under the hood, the same payroll/tax engine is also available through a public API and MCP.
I’m especially interested in feedback on two things:
Does the flow from salary → tax → housing → monthly remainder feel intuitive?
Which country or relocation scenario would you want to compare next?
Thanks for taking a look — especially if you’ve ever had to decide whether an offer abroad was actually worth it.
