This interactive tool is designed to assist you in estimating the cost of your housing. It is particularly useful prior to a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) or when considering a move to a new home. By incorporating weighted averages of key metrics, this tool provides a reliable estimate that falls within an acceptable margin for your projected housing expenses. Its purpose is to emphasize that housing costs extend beyond mere rent/mortgage payments, as they are influenced by factors such as the size of your family and the dwelling you choose. Furthermore, this tool will help you budget your first month of expenses after a housing change.
