Formula and calculation logic
Monthly housing cost = rent + electricity + internet + other monthly costs
Per-person estimate = monthly housing cost ÷ people sharing; move-in cash = rent + (rent × deposit months) + moving costs
Monthly household costs add the rent and the extra costs you enter.
The per-person figure divides those monthly costs evenly by the number of people sharing them.
Move-in cash adds one month's rent, your selected deposit amount, and moving or setup costs.
Assumptions
- The calculation does not assume that electricity, internet, or other charges are included in rent.
- Enter the deposit and moving costs stated or expected for your situation. It does not decide whether a tenancy agreement follows the law.
- The per-person split is even and does not account for different room sizes or individual agreements.

Questions about this tool
What should I include in other housing costs?
Add monthly charges you expect to pay, such as water, shared costs, or contents insurance. Avoid counting a charge twice.
Does this check whether a deposit is legal?
No. It only multiplies the rent by the number of deposit months you enter. Check your agreement and the official tenancy guidance.
Does it include furniture or appliances?
Only if you add those amounts to moving and setup costs.
