Decision help
What Move-in cost calculator really clarifies.
Use it to understand which amount is due around handover, first week and basic setup. The important part is not to treat the output as one winning number. It is a plausibility value for viewing, acceptance, moving or household planning.
First rent, deposit, transport, renovation, furniture, kitchen, setup and buffer make the start month visible. If an input is estimated, keep it visible. That way you later know which figure came from a contract, offer, measuring tape or bill and which was only a provisional assumption.
