What this Mexico residency calculator checks
The calculator compares your income or savings against the 2026 Mexican residency requirements for your chosen consulate. It accounts for Temporary versus Permanent Residency, dependents, income type, savings, and the fact that consulates publish different local-currency thresholds.
Income, savings, and consulate-specific thresholds
Mexican residency is usually decided through economic solvency: monthly income or a stable savings / investment balance. The federal formula is based on UMA, but each consulate converts those peso amounts differently. That is why the calculator asks where you plan to apply.
Temporary or Permanent Residency
Permanent Residency on income or savings is only for retirees and pensioners, and its income test is a pension, so the calculator asks whether you are retired. If you are, it compares both routes; if not, it checks Temporary Residency, which has the lower bar and converts to Permanent after four years.
