Calculate Your Costs →Frequently Asked Questions
What costs does the calculator include?
One-off costs: shipping, flights, visa fees, legal fees, rental deposits, and initial setup. Ongoing costs: rent or mortgage, utilities, groceries, healthcare, schooling, transport, and insurance. You can customise each line item.
How accurate are the cost estimates?
Our baseline figures come from Numbeo, official government fee schedules, and verified relocation provider quotes. The estimates give you a realistic range. Actual costs will vary based on your specific circumstances and lifestyle.
Can I adjust the estimates for my situation?
Yes. Every cost line item can be edited. The tool provides default values based on your household size and target location, but you can override any figure to match your own research.
Does it include ongoing monthly costs or just moving costs?
Both. The calculator gives you a one-off relocation budget plus a monthly cost-of-living estimate. You can see your total first-year cost at a glance.
Can I save my estimate and come back later?
Free users can email their results to themselves. Pro users get a saved dashboard where estimates are stored and can be compared across countries and scenarios.
