Built for the people who decide where Europe works

Eunomist is not a data repository for economists. It is a decision-support platform for practitioners who act on EU economic data every day.

Founder / CEO

You need the right jurisdiction. Not just the lowest tax rate.

Choosing where to incorporate is a 10-year decision. Tax rate is one factor. Business formation speed, labour market flexibility, digital infrastructure, and regulatory burden are the others — and they vary enormously across the EU-27.

The FSI scores every EU member state across all four dimensions and ranks them. Estonia leads. France ranks 14th. The data tells you exactly why.
CFO / Finance Lead

You're modelling employment cost. Across borders. In real time.

A €60,000 gross salary costs dramatically different amounts to an employer in Germany vs. Bulgaria vs. Ireland. Social contributions, employer taxes, and pension obligations shift the number by tens of thousands. You need the full picture before headcount decisions.

The Payroll Simulator calculates gross-to-net and employer total cost for any salary across all 27 member states — side by side, with full methodology transparency.
Digital Nomad / Remote Worker

You're choosing a base. The tax rate isn't the whole story.

Portugal has NHR. Estonia has e-Residency. Bulgaria has a 10% flat rate. But what about internet speed? Cost of living? How long does it actually take to open a bank account? The headline numbers are just the start of the real analysis.

The DNVS scores all 27 EU states across five weighted dimensions — giving you a composite picture of where remote work is genuinely viable, not just theoretically attractive.
