KPMG LINK Cost Projector

Financial modeling for cross-border moves and assignments.

KPMG LINK Cost Projector

Mobility isn’t cheap. With more programs looking for ways to reduce costs without sacrificing quality, understanding total assignments cost is more important than ever.

For more than 40 years, the KPMG Global Mobility Services (GMS) practice has helped clients achieve clarity, create efficiencies, and successfully manage global mobility processes with a combination of tax expertise and specialized technology. 

KPMG LINK Cost Projector estimates the costs of long- and short-term assignments, permanent transfers, and business travel or commuter arrangements providing policy-based budgets and accruals within minutes.

Take comfort in the accuracy of your numbers―system logic includes long-and-short term expatriate concessions, taxability, foreign tax credits and U.S.-based totalization agreements for more than 90 countries and localities.

The system streamlines the preparation of cost estimates with a standard preparation workflow while configuration and policy and program-specific overrides allow you to easily tailor the projection to your unique needs.

Simplify your assignment and mobility financial planning management

KPMG LINK Cost Projector now features powerful functionality and reporting to quantify expenses associated with permanent relocations or local hires.

Our incremental cost report for permanent transfers is designed to provide you with a precise cost "uplift" for permanent transfers including incremental compensation and allowances, income and social taxes, and accurately allocated employer social taxes. With this information, you can gain a clear understanding of the true cost of permanent relocations. Say goodbye to manual calculations and guesswork and embrace a smarter way to manage relocation expenses.
