Total cost of citizenship,
modelled honestly.
Headline investment is only one line. Compare every applicant, every government fee, every due-diligence charge, every renewal — across every investment-migration programme in every operating jurisdiction — in real time. CMS-priced figures come straight from our editorial pricing collection; the rest fall back to a transparent heuristic engine.

Real numbers, plainly sourced.
Every line is either pulled from an editor-maintained pricing row (CMS-priced) or computed from published programme schedules. No marketing math, no buried fees, no “from $X” teasers.
Investment thresholds, processing fees, and DD charges sourced directly from the publishing authority (CBI Units, ministries, gazettes). Updated as soon as a change lands in our regulatory tracker.

About the cost calculator.
How accurate is the all-in figure?
For CMS-priced programmes (every line published by our editorial team), the figure is within 2–5% of the realistic all-in cost. For heuristic-engine fallback programmes, expect 5–10% variance. Final pricing is provided only under written engagement.
Why does the total change when I pick a different investment route?
CBI programmes have distinct cost profiles per route. Donation routes are typically lowest, fund and real-estate routes carry adjusted government fees, registration charges, and (for real-estate) holding-period upkeep. The path-adjustment multipliers come from the published programme schedule.
What is the difference between "CMS-priced" and the fallback engine?
CMS-priced programmes use line items entered by our editorial team — every fee category itemised. The fallback engine derives an estimate from the headline investment plus published programme-type averages. Both are indicative — only an engagement letter confirms.
Does the calculator include legal and translation costs?
Yes — when the programme is CMS-priced. Citizen Sure professional fees, approved-counsel rates, translation, courier, and biometric capture are itemised. The heuristic fallback estimates these as a percentage of the headline investment.
