The costs people plan for
Housing, flights and the visa process itself are the numbers most people budget first. They are also the easiest to research, which is why they are rarely the ones that cause the surprise.
The costs people miss
Deposits, health insurance, school fees, car ownership and the gap before your income starts are the items that most often break a first-year budget.
City changes everything
The same salary behaves very differently across U.S. cities. Housing is the biggest driver, but state tax, transport and childcare shift the picture too.
Budget for the gap
Most moves include a stretch with costs and no income. Knowing how long you can carry that gap matters more than the headline cost of the move itself.
Build a range, not a number
Give yourself a low, likely and high case. A single figure feels precise and is almost always wrong by the time you arrive.
