lean · normal · comfortable
The number that decides this isn't your salary. It's how long you could go without one.
At zero months every option has to work immediately, so you pick safe things and take the next job that looks like the last one. At six months you can run an experiment, say no, take the worse-paid thing that leads somewhere. Same person, completely different decisions. This tells you which one you are, for the city you actually mean.
Three inputs. One number. One date.
- 1
Pick the city and how you'd live
40 cities, priced at real current rents. Lean, normal or comfortable, each one a stated basket rather than a vibe.
- 2
Put in what you've got
Savings you'd actually use, any income that travels with you, and the one-offs people forget: the deposit, the flight home, the laptop dying.
- 3
Read it as a decision
Months of runway, the month it runs to, and what that band means. Under three is a runway problem. Three to six is the experiment zone. Six plus means money isn't what's stopping you.

What you get for $27
Runs in your browser, no account, nothing to install. Change the city and the number changes.
Rent, bills, groceries, eating out, transport and leisure, each one a real price times a quantity you can see.
Pick where you are now and it tells you how much further the same money goes, or doesn't.
A number on its own is trivia. This reads it back as what to do next, and what to test before you go.
It costs about a month of coffee, and it's built from public data you could assemble yourself in a weekend.
I'm saying that plainly rather than dressing it up. What $27 buys is that the assembling is done, the quantities are honest, and the number comes back as a decision instead of a spreadsheet. If it doesn't do that for you, thirty days, your money back, and I won't ask why.
You've been guessing at this number for a year.
