Foreign Income Tax Estimate
US citizens and residents are taxed on worldwide income, even if earned abroad.
Foreign Earned Income Exclusion (FEIE) for 2024: Up to $126,500 can be excluded from US taxes.
To qualify for FEIE you must:
- Have foreign earned income
- Have a tax home in a foreign country
- Meet either the Bona Fide Residence Test (full tax year) or Physical Presence Test (330 days in 12 months)
How it works:
- Total foreign earned income
- Subtract FEIE exclusion (up to $126,500)
- Remaining income is taxed at normal US rates
- Tax is calculated using the “stacking” method — as if the excluded income still sets your bracket
Foreign Tax Credit: If you pay taxes to a foreign country, you may also claim a credit to avoid double taxation.
This is a simplified estimate. Expat tax situations can be complex — consult an international tax professional.
