How much can you set aside for rent?
Start with 3 amounts to see what is available for rent and housing bills. Open Advanced options when you want to check a rental or plan a move.
Your rent budget result
Enter the 3 amounts above, then choose Calculate my rent budget.
A landlord may use different income requirements. Unknown costs are never silently treated as $0.
Advanced options
Rental bills and comparison, move-in cash, and rental search. These are optional for your first budget result.
Refine your rent limit or test a rental
Enter the four monthly extras to calculate a base-rent limit. Add the asking rent if you want to see what remains after paying for that home.
Cash needed to move
Enter the actual amounts due for the rental you choose. First rent may be prorated or weekly. Additional prepaid rent excludes that first payment. Refundable deposits still require cash upfront; do not assume they will be returned immediately.
Enter your known move-in costs, then choose Calculate move-in cash. A subtotal stays incomplete until every cost is known.
The first rent payment belongs in upfront cash and your monthly budget. These are different views; do not add the two totals together.
Find rentals to compare
Build your search criteria here, then check listings on the destination. OneDEAL does not display live rental inventory or confirm availability.
Enter the four monthly rental extras above and choose Calculate Rental A or Calculate Rental B to get a base-rent search limit. Your first budget result still includes housing bills.
These ordinary links open a new tab. They do not transfer or apply your location, type or budget automatically—enter those filters on the rental site. OneDEAL earns no commission from these links. Shared rooms are not whole homes, and coverage varies. Verify the listing’s complete price before applying.
How the estimate works
First budget result = take-home income − nonhousing expenses − savings and cushion. Yearly amounts are divided by 12. This monthly amount is available for rent and housing bills; it is not a base-rent ceiling.
In Advanced options, base rent ceiling = that available amount − utilities − insurance − recurring fees − separately entered commute costs. Enter commute separately only if it is not already in your nonhousing expenses. A base-rent ceiling is calculated only when all four extras are known. Weekly rent is multiplied by 52 ÷ 12 for a monthly average; a four-week estimate understates a full year. Actual payment dates may make individual months more expensive.
Money left after housing is shown both before and after your savings goal. Application fees, deposits and moving expenses are tracked separately. Entries stay in this page and disappear when you leave or refresh; no account is required.
