A new Malta-focused financial intelligence platform has launched with a clear mission: strip away opinion and present the numbers behind life on the island.

FreeMalta.com positions itself as a data-driven guide to salaries, taxation and the real cost of daily living in Malta. Designed for locals, expatriates and those considering relocating to the country, the platform aims to provide practical clarity rather than commentary.

At its core, FreeMalta.com breaks down Malta-based salaries against tax bands, offering insights into what gross income translates to in take-home or “disposable” terms. It then places that income in context, mapping it against everyday expenses such as rent, utilities and lifestyle costs.

The approach is deliberately grounded in real-world framing. Instead of abstract figures, the platform asks: what could this actually look like in practice? The goal is to provide users with a tangible sense of affordability based on their income bracket and lifestyle expectations.

FreeMalta.com is also positioned as forward-looking rather than retrospective. Rather than publishing static blog-style posts that quickly become outdated, the site is built around projectable scenarios for 2026, allowing users to think in planning terms rather than historical snapshots.

The platform is developed by Malta Insider, a Malta-based operating firm with experience in digital publishing and data-led content. Malta Insider describes the initiative as independent, with no ties to government, real estate agencies or recruitment firms — a distinction it says is intentional.

The launch comes amid ongoing debate about Malta’s affordability, as the country continues to market itself as a destination for work and lifestyle opportunities. While messaging around relocation and economic growth is widespread, FreeMalta.com argues that neutral, numbers-first indicators are often missing from the conversation.

By focusing on measurable inputs — salary bands, tax rates and cost-of-living categories — the platform aims to function as what it describes as a “financial sanity-check” for life in Malta.
