Two currencies, two tax years, one decision

Every figure on these screens is shown in dollars and rupees at once, at a rate you set — there is no toggle, because you do not live in one currency at a time. Where a number belongs to a jurisdiction, the colour says which.

What these tools do, and where they stop

They size the problem: how long the window is, what it is worth on your assumptions, and what a position costs under the regime that applies when no election is in place. Every screen carries a show the working fold containing the caveats that cut against its own headline — including the largest one, which is that a US citizen or green-card holder is taxed on worldwide income wherever they live.

They stop short of sequencing: which account to draw first, in which month, and what to file.
