Portugal NHR / IFICI Calculator
Portugal's IFICI regime (successor to NHR) taxes qualifying employment and self-employment income at a flat 20% for 10 years – against standard progressive rates up to 48%. At €100,000, that's a saving of ≈ €26,339/year.
Qualification narrowed versus old NHR: eligible professions/activities (R&D, tech, certified startups, higher education) and no Portuguese tax residency in the prior 5 years. Foreign pensions – the old regime's famous draw – now fall outside the benefit.

IFICI vs the old NHR
Old NHR (closed to new entrants in 2024) offered 20% on Portuguese income plus broad foreign-income exemptions including 10% on pensions. IFICI keeps the 20% domestic rate for a narrower professional list and drops the pension perk – grandfathered NHR holders retain old terms for their 10-year window.
Combine with the D8 visa for the standard remote-worker structure; Lisbon's single budget of ≈ $2,300/month makes the after-tax arithmetic compelling for US-salary earners.
How it compares across Europe
Europe's inbound-regime menu in 2026: Spain 24% flat (Beckham), Netherlands 30%-tax-free slice, Portugal 20% (IFICI), Italy 50% exemption, Croatia 0% on nomad income, Malta 10%. The right one depends on income mix, family, and horizon – not just the headline rate.
Run the country-comparison tax pages to see the same salary across regimes; differences of €15,000–€40,000/year at senior-remote incomes are routine.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What tax rate do NHR / IFICI beneficiaries pay?
20% flat (IFICI / "NHR 2.0") – versus Portugal's standard progressive schedule topping at 48%. The table-level details and conditions are in the sections above.
How long does the benefit last?
10 years from establishing Portuguese residency, non-renewable.
Can US citizens benefit?
Yes, but the saving nets against US obligations: the $132,900 FEIE (2026) and foreign tax credits decide whether a low local rate translates into total-tax savings or just shifts who collects.
Does the regime cover investment income?
IFICI focuses on employment/self-employment income; foreign investment income follows standard or treaty rules – a narrowing versus old NHR.
What should I do before relocating?
Confirm eligibility in writing, calendar the election deadlines (most are 4–6 months from arrival), and model both regimes at your real income – the crossovers are sharp and irreversible elections are common.
