Tax and compliance

Official Estonian Tax and Customs Board guidance uses the 183-day rule in a 12-month period for residence determination. Resident treatment: residents are taxed on worldwide income. Non-resident treatment: non-residents are taxed on Estonia-source income. The PIT rate is 22% and standard VAT is 24% in current official tax-rate guidance. Employee social contribution is represented as 3.6% (1.6% unemployment insurance plus 2.0% funded pension for participating employees). Foreign-income exemption is set to 'no' because the base resident rule is worldwide taxation. Assumptions: funded-pension participation is cohort-dependent; 3.6% is a representative employee case, not universal. Confidence: medium (official sources used, with pension-participation caveat).

Budget Your Trip daily baselines (retrieved 2026-02-27) were converted to monthly by multiplying by 30: poor USD 1710, average USD 4290, comfortable USD 10650; monthly_cost_single_usd uses the average baseline. Numbeo (retrieved 2026-02-27) provided country-level 1-bedroom city-centre rent in USD. Utilities/internet/coworking are null because a consistent country-level nomad baseline for those components was not reliably extractable at execution time. Confidence: medium-low.
