●●●BangerCrowd PleaserSolve My ProblemCozy

Subtracts rent and living costs from net income, unlike standard tax calculators.

Strengths

•Factors in median rent and living costs, not just income tax rates.
•Visualizes FIRE age and years to retirement based on location delta.
•Clean, approachable UI makes complex financial data easy to digest.

Weaknesses

•Relies on estimated median costs rather than user-specific expense data.
•Limited to 50 countries, missing many potential relocation destinations.

LanceCalc – Open-source freelance platform fee calculator

Reverse fee calculation and support for tiered fee structures (including PeoplePerHour returning-client/lifetime thresholds) are practical touches you actually use when pricing gigs. It runs entirely in-browser with no data collection, which is a clear privacy win; the downside is the space is crowded and the extension needs ongoing updates as platforms change fees (withdrawal fees are explicitly missing).

UK Taxation Calculator

Nice, focused feature set — salary slider, Scotland tax bands, student loan options, pension relief and employer-cost math are all surfaced without burying the user in jargon. It doesn't invent a new category, but the tax-band visualization and advanced options (tax codes, employer NI) show care; I'd want export/print and privacy/version notes before recommending it widely.
