Compare a role across countries
Share one role and two or three target countries and get net pay and employer cost worked out side by side.
Kalkulo Pro
Cross-border compensation briefs for people who compare pay across countries every month.
The free Kalkulo network answers one-off salary, tax, VAT, loan and property questions. Kalkulo Pro's founding pilot is a founder-assisted cross-border compensation brief for recruiters, relocation advisors, HR consultants and internationally hiring SMEs who need to compare employee net pay and employer cost for one role across exactly two country scenarios, one effective payroll month at a time.
Built on Kalkulo.eu's country-specific calculator network across payroll, tax, VAT, self-employment, loans, property and leave.
Why this can be paid
A free calculator gives one answer. A cross-border hiring decision needs a comparison.
Casual users search, calculate and leave. That is exactly what the public site should keep serving. The paid opportunity starts when someone needs to compare a role across countries: a recruiter checking net pay for the same role in two markets, a relocation advisor comparing employer cost before a transfer, an HR consultant building a business case for an internationally hiring SME. In those moments one number is not the job. The professional needs the inputs, the assumptions, the rule year, the source links and a presentable way to send the comparison to whoever is deciding.
Kalkulo Pro should not make the public calculators worse or hide basic answers behind an account. The paid promise is a founder-assisted comparison for people who use the tools on behalf of someone else. This is a manual pre-release pilot: there is no account, automatic sync, or automatic rate alerting yet.

First paid wedge
Cross-border compensation brief: a founding pilot worth testing first.
The strongest early Pro shape is not a huge dashboard. It is one founder-assisted brief: a comparison of employee net pay and employer cost for one role across exactly two country scenarios in one effective payroll month, delivered as a reviewed, source-linked PDF and CSV with assumptions, law articles, rules versions and a named review record.
Checkout is founder-led for now: invoice terms are agreed by email and paid manually after billing details and the countries to compare are confirmed — we confirm coverage, applicable VAT and the total payable in writing before you accept. This is a manual pre-release pilot: there is no account, automatic sync, or automatic rate alerting yet.

Who it is for
Cross-border recruiters, relocation advisors, HR consultants and internationally hiring SMEs.
The first paying users are likely to be people who already spend hours translating official rules into practical answers for a cross-border hire. They do not need another generic dashboard. They need a founder-assisted brief that compares the exact role across the countries they name, with sources attached, so they are not rebuilding the comparison in a spreadsheet. A cross-border recruiter can compare net pay for the same role in two markets. A relocation advisor can compare employer cost before a transfer. An HR consultant can build a business case for an internationally hiring SME before asking a professional for final advice.
- Country-by-country comparison of net pay and employer cost for cross-border recruiters, relocation advisors and HR consultants.
- Inputs and assumptions recorded in each founder-assisted comparison.
- A side-by-side table for hiring, relocation and internationally hiring SME decisions.
- A source-linked PDF brief instead of a loose screenshot.
- A review date and disclaimer included with every brief.
- A CSV copy of the comparison for further modelling.
Pricing test
One founding pilot until cross-border demand is proven.
Kalkulo Pro should earn recurring work by solving one repeated job first. The current test is the cross-border compensation brief at a proposed one-time EUR 29 founding pilot price (excluding VAT, business customers only), with invoice requests handled manually before adding checkout or broader tiers. Coverage, VAT and the total payable are confirmed in writing before you accept.
Cross-border compensation brief — founding pilot
EUR 29
proposed one-time founding pilot price, excluding VAT, while delivery is founder-assisted; business customers only
One founding pilot for people who compare employee net pay and employer cost across countries, not a broad SaaS catalog.
- Cross-border comparison of net pay and employer cost across the chosen countries.
- Client-ready, source-linked PDF brief with assumptions and a review date.
- CSV export of the same comparison for further modelling.
Founding pilot onboarding
The first Pro users should prove the founding pilot by running one comparison case.
The next paid step is not a broad account system. It is a guided founding-pilot onboarding: confirm the role and countries to compare, assemble the first brief and learn whether the buyer wants invoice terms before checkout exists.
- Qualify the role, exactly two countries to compare, the effective payroll month, gross-pay basis and billing details before starting.
- Build the first cross-border compensation brief comparing net pay and employer cost across the chosen countries.
- Deliver the reviewed PDF brief, CSV export and source record; a further case is a separate request, never an automatic renewal.
Founding pilot qualification
Start with the cross-border comparison we can prove fastest.
Send the role, the two countries you need to compare, the effective month and your billing details. We are testing the proposed one-time EUR 29 founding pilot (excluding VAT, business customers only) before widening Pro into a general saved-calculation workspace.
