Your destination: Expenses plus buffer exceed income. This budget likely isn't sustainable as planned without higher income, lower costs, or a different destination.

Current home: Expenses plus buffer exceed income. This budget likely isn't sustainable as planned without higher income, lower costs, or a different destination.

Destination defaults sourced from 2026 cost-of-living data (Numbeo, expat cost guides, HUD Fair Market Rent, BLS Consumer Expenditure Survey, C2ER/MERIC state indices). Property tax and insurance are always manually entered on both sides, since these vary too much by individual situation for a general default. Single-person baseline; couple figures apply category-specific multipliers to destination defaults only. Treat as a planning starting point, not a guarantee -- verify current costs for your specific situation. Not tax or financial advice.
