# Japa Calculator

> Nigeria's first data-driven relocation decision tool. Helps Nigerians make informed decisions about relocating abroad, staying in Nigeria, or working remotely for foreign companies.

## About

Japa Calculator covers 22 countries, 55+ cities, and 37 Nigerian states with personalized scoring and AI-powered analysis. All visa fees and immigration data are verified against official government sources (IRCC, UK Home Office, USCIS, IND, Migri, Immigration New Zealand, and others). Data is verified quarterly.

## How It Works

Users enter their profession, monthly income, savings, destination country, city, and family status. The calculator produces three scores:
- **Japa Score (0-100):** How ready you are to relocate to your chosen country
- **Stay Score (0-100):** How your current life in Nigeria compares financially
- **Remote Score (0-100):** How viable it is to earn abroad while staying in Nigeria

An AI then analyzes the scores and provides personalized guidance.

## Key Data Points

- Verified visa fees, health surcharges, and proof of funds requirements for 14 countries
- Cost of living comparisons between Nigerian cities and 45+ global destinations
- Salary benchmarks across professions in Nigeria vs destination countries
- Japa Pulse: Aggregated anonymized data from calculator submissions
