Rent comparison calculator

Compare monthly rent and upfront housing deposits between two cities before you commit to a lease.

Frequently asked questions

What rent is included?

Catalog rent is a mid-market one-bedroom estimate for each city, useful for comparing destinations, not quoting a specific listing. Neighbourhood guides in the app break down cheaper and premium areas.

How is the deposit calculated?

We apply country-specific deposit norms (often one to three months' rent) from the same rules used in the Move planner. Landlords may ask for more in competitive markets.

Should I compare rent or total cost of living?

Rent is usually the largest line item but not the whole picture, food, transport, and healthcare vary too. Use rent comparison to shortlist housing markets, then run a full cost-of-living comparison.
