About this site

howtoleaveaustralia.com.au is a suite of 33 free interactive tools for Australians who are thinking about leaving, and specifically about the part almost every “move overseas” guide skips: what ceasing Australian tax residency actually does to your money.

Who it’s for

Founders selling up, remote workers testing a nomad life, property investors, families, retirees, crypto holders, and people planning the trip home again. If you have income, assets or a HECS debt in Australia and you’re contemplating a move, the tools here turn the vague anxiety into your own numbers.

The principles

• Free forever, no login, no backend. There are no accounts, no email gates and no server. Everything computes in your browser.
• Your numbers, not generic advice. Every tool ends in a figure or a verdict built from what you entered.
• Honest about uncertainty. Residency outcomes are risk classes, not false precision. Every estimate says so, and figures we haven’t re-verified are flagged indicative.
• Every number is dated. Each rate lives in a dated rules module with official sources, see how we verify.

What it is not

This is general information, not advice. It is not a tax agent service, it does not create a professional relationship, and it cannot see the facts that decide your case. It exists to get you to a registered tax agent, migration agent or licensed financial adviser already knowing the right questions, with a downloaded report that starts the meeting at the answer instead of the data-gathering. See the full disclaimer.

There is nothing to sell you, and no leads to sell to anyone else, the site has no backend to collect them. If it’s useful, the best support is to use it and share it.
