About · Fiatmap
The world atlas of money
Fiatmap maps what money costs, what life costs and which rules apply — country by country. Mortgage and deposit rates, inflation, house prices, electricity, taxes, wages and public holidays, side by side and honestly comparable.

Why it exists
The numbers that decide where life is affordable — the price of credit, the tax on a salary, the speed at which prices rise — are published by official institutions, but scattered across dozens of portals in dozens of formats. Most sites that gather them fall back on crowd-sourced guesses. Fiatmap does the boring part instead: it reads the official series, keeps their definitions intact, and puts them on one map.
The rules we work by
Official sources only
Every number comes from a central bank, a statistics bureau or an international organisation — BIS, ECB, IMF, OECD, Eurostat, the World Bank, FRED and national offices like SSB. Crowd-sourced aggregators are banned in code, enforced by tests.
Every number is dated and sourced
Each value on the atlas carries the institution it came from and the date it was observed. If a figure is old, we say so instead of hiding it.
Gaps are shown, never filled
When no official figure exists we show an honest blank — never an estimate, never an interpolation, never a number copied from a licensed aggregator.
One definition per field
We never mix incompatible definitions in one ranking. An index with a 2015 base is not compared with a 2010 base; a monthly minimum wage in euros is not blended with an annual PPP figure.
Who runs it
Fiatmap is built and operated by TORSTONE OÜ, a company registered in Estonia, founded by Torstein Gustavsen — the team behind SatsAtlas. The site is free to use and carries no ads; the data we derive ourselves is published under CC BY 4.0 so anyone can reuse it with attribution.
