How this calculator works
This calculator totals the main costs of relocating — flights, freight or shipping, temporary accommodation, visa costs and general setup expenses — into one estimated budget. Every relocation is different, so treat this as a starting planning figure to refine with real quotes.
Frequently asked questions
Does this include ongoing cost of living differences?
No, this covers one-off relocation costs only. Research the ongoing cost of living at your destination separately.
Should I include visa fees here or in the Visa Application Budget calculator?
Either works — you can enter a visa cost estimate here, or use the dedicated visa calculator for a more detailed breakdown and combine the totals.
How accurate are shipping cost estimates?
Shipping costs vary enormously by volume, destination and provider, so get an actual quote from a removalist before finalising your budget.
