How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is a Nomadino 0-100 point value for legal clarity when working remotely with foreign clients or employers. 100 means clear and usable rules; 0 means heavily constrained or practically risky conditions.

The calculation combines nine blocks: foreigner work rights count for 20%, work-permit access 13%, local self-employment rights 16%, territorial tax logic 13%, tax administration 11%, tax treaties 6%, rule of law 11%, government efficiency 5%, and digital government 5%.

The calculation also considers whether foreign employment is strongly restricted. Strong values therefore do not come from low taxes alone, but from residence law, labour rules, tax clarity, enforceability and administrative practice together.

Values are normalised to the current Nomadino country comparison. The rating equals the rounded raw value; higher values improve the ranking.

The indicator measures general legal usability. It does not rate individual employer policies, personal tax residence, a specific contract structure or sector-specific professional licensing.
