Monaco uses the Euro (EUR). With 0% income tax and only ~10.5% social contributions, Monaco residents retain the vast majority of earned income. The primary costs are social contributions on employment income and 20% VAT on consumption.
Moving from Monaco
Monaco residency requires: (1) 183+ days per year in Monaco, (2) a Monaco residence (rented or owned — apartments cost €30,000–€100,000+/sqm in some areas), (3) a Monaco bank account with minimum deposits (~€500,000+), and (4) a clean criminal record. A Carte de Résident is issued for 1 year initially, renewable, then 3-year, then 10-year. Monaco has no immigration path based solely on citizenship — wealth and residency criteria apply. French nationals are excluded from the 0% income tax benefit under the 1963 Franco-Monegasque Convention.
