The Keep Index 2026 applies each place’s own 2026 brackets to a single resident’s income. At $3,000,000 a year the top of the board is the 12 places that tax a resident’s income at 0%: Abu Dhabi, Anguilla, Christophe Harbour, Dubai, George Town, Monaco, Nassau, Panama City, Providenciales, Punta del Este, St John's and Virgin Gorda.

After them come the places with a low or capped rate. Gibraltar keeps $2,943,635, and the 20th, Zug, keeps $2,348,967 with 21.7% taken.

The figures are income tax only, before social contributions, for a single resident who is not a US citizen. All 100 places at 4 incomes are in the Keep Index dataset.

The Patrician Letter

The rules move. Be told when they do.

Sent when it earns the send, not on a schedule. Never shared, one tap to stop.

Income tax on the published 2026 rules. Social contributions, most deductions and treaties are not modeled. Figures are for a non-US single filer. Wealth tax, an exit and your passports are added when you run the engine on your own numbers. Not advice. Residence rules change often. Verify before acting.
