How the estimate works

Costs are planning estimates for a modest single-person budget: rent, groceries, transit, utilities, internet and phone. They are meant to help users narrow choices, not replace current rental listings or official school budgets.

For studentsStudent mode uses lower shared-housing estimates and highlights schools, transit and practical student cities.
For families and moversStandard mode focuses on everyday costs and how much room is left after essentials.
Compare before decidingAdd up to three cities to compare rent, groceries, transit and total monthly cost.
