Disclaimer
Relocation By Numbers provides planning tools and educational information for relocation, cost of living, salary comparison, housing, and FIRE planning. The site is designed to help users compare scenarios and think through tradeoffs. It is not a source of personalized financial, tax, legal, mortgage, immigration, or investment advice.
Planning estimates only
Calculator results are planning estimates based on the information you enter and simplified assumptions about taxes, investment returns, inflation, salary growth, housing costs, and living expenses. Actual results will vary and may differ materially from the outputs shown.
These tools are intended for directional comparison. They are most useful for questions like whether one city may be more affordable than another, how a move may affect a monthly budget, or how lower expenses may change a FIRE timeline. They are not designed to predict exact personal outcomes.
Retirement planner estimates
Planning estimate only. Not tax, legal or financial advice. Tax rules vary by person and change often; confirm any decision with a CPA or enrolled agent.
The Complete Retirement Plan projects taxes and withdrawals from the figures you enter and from simplified, pre-credit models of each state's income tax. It leaves out credits, itemized deductions, dependents and many state-specific rules, and its results will differ from a filed return. Using it does not create a professional relationship of any kind between you and Relocation By Numbers.
Before you move, sell assets, convert retirement accounts or make any other decision that depends on your taxes, talk to a certified public accountant (CPA) or enrolled agent who can review your own situation.
Tax, mortgage, and legal limitations
Tax estimates use simplified federal, state, or country-specific models for comparison purposes. They are not intended to represent exact tax filing outcomes and may not reflect your full personal situation, deductions, credits, local taxes, payroll contributions, treaty rules, immigration status, or other important variables.
Housing and mortgage-related estimates are also simplified planning calculations. They do not represent lender quotes, mortgage approvals, underwriting decisions, insurance offers, or final closing costs.
Nothing on this site should be interpreted as legal guidance, including information related to immigration, residency, visas, or cross-border relocation. Those rules can change and may depend heavily on personal facts and jurisdiction-specific requirements.
FIRE and investment planning limitations
FIRE calculators on this site use simplified planning assumptions about spending, withdrawal rates, investment growth, and inflation. They do not guarantee investment outcomes and do not fully model every risk, including market volatility, sequence-of-returns risk, tax law changes, or future spending changes.
Investment-related content on this site is for general educational planning only and should not be treated as personalized investment advice or a recommendation to buy, sell, or allocate assets in any particular way.
Your responsibility
Before making financial, tax, investment, housing, mortgage, legal, or relocation decisions, you should consult qualified professionals as appropriate for your situation.
By using this website, you acknowledge that calculator outputs are estimates designed for planning and comparison only, and that you are responsible for any decisions made based on the information provided.
