FEIE vs Foreign Tax Credit Calculator

About

A complimentary tool requiring no registration, designed for U.S. citizens living overseas: input your earnings and host country, and it automatically calculates both primary expatriate tax options—the Foreign Earned Income Exclusion using Form 2555 and the Foreign Tax Credit via Form 1116—based on official IRS brackets for 2025 and 2026. It then determines which method retains more income for you, incorporating factors like the credit carryover and the refundable child tax credit that many other calculators overlook.
