US expat tax estimator.
A rough-order-of-magnitude US federal tax estimate for UK-resident filers. Move the inputs to see how the numbers shift across FEIE vs. Foreign Tax Credit, single vs. joint, and different income levels. Not advice — the real picture has more inputs (PFICs, treaty positions, state tax) than fit in a calculator.
