Check if a rent level fits your income
Compare rent with your estimated net income and essential monthly costs before committing to a Nordic apartment.
Your result
Select a city and enter your own net income, rent and essential costs.
A common planning rule is to avoid rent that leaves too little room for food, transport, utilities, savings and unexpected costs. Check current listings and contract terms.
Inputs that matter
- Net monthly income
- The actual advertised rent
- Other unavoidable monthly costs
What it does not prove
A positive balance does not make a lease safe or affordable; deposits, utilities, debt, childcare and irregular costs still matter.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Why are there no example values already filled in?
Example values can make a planning tool look more precise than it is. The fields start empty so the result is based on your own offer, rent, household, route or travel assumptions. Placeholders show the expected format only and are not used in the calculation.
How should I judge the result?
A positive balance does not make a lease safe or affordable; deposits, utilities, debt, childcare and irregular costs still matter. Use the result to compare scenarios, then verify the relevant current source or detailed guide before making a financial, immigration, study, housing or travel commitment.
