How these reference values work
- Rent: one-bedroom outside the centre, $379 / month.
- Utilities: reported 85 m² apartment reference, $120 / month; your apartment size and air conditioning use matter.
- Phone + home broadband: $32 / month. Missing components still require quotes.
- Food model: 90 inexpensive restaurant meals per month × $5. This is a derived spending scenario, not a surveyed grocery budget. Change it for your diet, groceries and eating habits.
Still needs your quotes: Transport; Insurance / personal healthcare; School / childcare if applicable; Leisure and incidentals; Setup, document fees and deposit terms. Totals are partial until completed. The two-month emergency reserve is a planning choice, not a market price.
One-off documents are a placeholder for fees applicable to your situation; confirm them officially. Annual school or insurance payments may require more cash upfront than a monthly allowance. Avoid counting temporary accommodation twice.
