Five-party benefit simulator
Adjust a few transparent assumptions and see, side by side, how a managed programme could create value for all five parties, and which party needs attention first.

Host side
–Fills needed roles through an orderly, capacity-aware route.
- People in managed, vetted rolespeople in the programme–
- Employer co-investment in skillspeople × co-investment per person–
Migrants
–Build skills, income and standing through a fair, transparent partnership.
- People receiving skills trainingpeople × training share–
- Indicative earnings kept per personearnings × months × (1 − remittance share)–
Residents of the country of origin
–Families and communities share in income and returning experience.
- Households that may receive supportpeople, if remittance share > 0 (one household each)–
- People bringing know-how homepeople × circulation share–
Residents of the host country
–Benefit from skilled contributors, local sponsorship and planned capacity.
- Newcomers with a local sponsorpeople × sponsor share–
- Newcomers with recognised, trained skillspeople × training share–
About this model
Illustrative model, not a forecast. It contains no statistics, studies or real programme data. It shows how benefits could add up under the assumptions you choose.
Some levers pull in different directions. A higher remittance share helps the country of origin but leaves migrants less to keep. Making those trade-offs visible is the point of the five-party test.
The figures
| Party | Figure | Formula |
|---|---|---|
| Country of origin | Indicative remittances over the period | people × earnings × months × remittance share |
| Country of origin | People returning with new skills | people × circulation share × training share |
| Host side | People in managed, vetted roles | people in the programme |
| Host side | Employer co-investment in skills | people × co-investment per person |
| Migrants | People receiving skills training | people × training share |
| Migrants | Indicative earnings kept per person | earnings × months × (1 − remittance share) |
| Residents of the country of origin | Households that may receive support | people, if remittance share > 0 (one household each) |
| Residents of the country of origin | People bringing know-how home | people × circulation share |
| Residents of the host country | Newcomers with a local sponsor | people × sponsor share |
| Residents of the host country | Newcomers with recognised, trained skills | people × training share |
The balance bands
Each band is a rough visual made from your percentage inputs, on a scale of 0 to 1. Below 0.33 is Emerging, 0.33 to 0.66 is Growing, 0.66 and above is Strong. It is not a score or a measurement.
| Party | Balance |
|---|---|
| Country of origin | (remittance share + circulation share) ÷ 2 |
| Host side | (training share + co-investment ratio) ÷ 2 |
| Migrants | (training share + share of earnings kept + sponsor share) ÷ 3 |
| Residents of the country of origin | (remittance share + circulation share + training share) ÷ 3 |
| Residents of the host country | (training share + co-investment ratio + sponsor share) ÷ 3 |
Co-investment ratio = co-investment per person ÷ one month's earnings, capped at 1.
Why are there no real statistics?
Programmes differ widely by country, sector and period. Rather than borrow numbers that may not fit your context, the simulator uses only your own assumptions and shows every formula.
Is anything I enter stored or sent?
No. The simulator runs entirely in your browser. A copied link contains only the eight assumptions, and you decide whom to send it to.
Can I use it with partners or in a workshop?
Yes. Switch between the example scenarios, copy a link to your own scenario, or print it as a PDF. To test it against a real context, send it to us with a briefing request.
