The 3 places a family most often weighs against each other, on the same $1,000,000 of income for a single resident, from each place’s own 2026 rules.

Dubai and Monaco take nothing on a resident’s income, so all of it is kept. Singapore’s progressive scale takes an effective 21% at this level, leaving $792,050.

A passport can change the answer: a French national who moves to Monaco does not get the zero, and a US citizen stays taxed by the United States anywhere. The answer page compares schools, safety and cost for a family as well. The figures cover income tax only.

The rules move. Be told when they do.

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.
