The usable first step
Make your real Swap.
Three inputs, a city-to-city estimate, and a card that makes the trade-off easy to see. No accounts, no tracking of your numbers.
In your browser. Your income, rent, and results are calculated locally and are not sent to a server.
How this estimate works. We combine your reported rent with a rounded non-rent benchmark for each city, then preserve the monthly amount left after those costs. This is an orientation tool, not a tax, visa, salary, or relocation quote.
Dataset: Desk-researched city cost benchmarks, normalized to USD. Date: 2026-08. Version: swap-destinations-v1. City costs vary by neighborhood, household, season, and exchange rate.
