How the math works. Monthly cost for the target city is derived from our cost-of-living index (NYC = 100) against a $5,000/mo NYC single-person baseline. Deficit = target monthly − side income. Runway = savings ÷ deficit. Directional planning only; visa, taxes and healthcare aren't included. FX rates are approximate and refreshed manually.
