Moving Out Cost Calculator
Moving out involves more than just rent. Enter your expected upfront costs and ongoing monthly costs to see a full estimate, and how it compares to what you've already saved.
Upfront costs
For unexpected costs — entirely your choice
Ongoing monthly costs
Your savings
Estimated total upfront cost to move out, based on the figures you entered.
How this is calculated
Upfront total adds together your bond/deposit, first rent payment, moving costs, furniture, household items, utility setup fees and any buffer you choose to include.
Monthly recurring total adds your ongoing rent, utilities, internet and insurance.
If you enter your current savings, we show the gap between your upfront total and what you've already saved.
Formula
Upfront total = bond + first rent + moving costs + furniture + household items + setup fees + bufferMonthly recurring = rent + utilities + internet + insuranceSavings gap = upfront total − current savings (floored at $0)Worked example
A $2,000 bond, $1,800 first rent and $500 in moving costs totals $4,300 upfront. With $1,000 already saved, the gap is $3,300.
