Quick answers
Are the calculators free?
Yes. BalticNavigator is free to use and does not require signup after a calculation.
Can I use the output for filing?
No. Use the numbers for first-pass orientation, then confirm filing positions with official guidance or a qualified local adviser.
Which country should I start with?
Start with where the employee works, where customers are, and where management decisions will be made. Tax rate alone is not enough.
How often should assumptions be refreshed?
Refresh before a hiring or incorporation decision, especially when annual tax and social-security thresholds change.
