YOUR NEXT MOVE

Standard move-in amount

Savings still needed—
Full shifts to move in—
Weekly rent + living costs—
Gross base pay / scheduled week—

Standard move-in cost = two weeks of rent in advance + one week agent fee. Shift estimates exclude taxes, bonuses and living expenses while saving.

Moving in and keeping up with rent are different goals. Compare recurring weekly costs with your income, and leave room for taxes, furniture and unexpected spending.
