Planning model & data scope

Use the estimates as a starting range, not a quote

Moving model: distance is a straight-line estimate between stored city coordinates, not driving mileage. Cost ranges use national-average assumptions including 10 MPG, $3.50-per-gallon fuel, broad truck and mover multipliers, and 500 miles per driving day plus a load/unload day.

Salary model: the calculator models a single renter with a moderate lifestyle using stored city fields and simplified projected 2026 tax parameters. It does not include every route, household, deduction, fee, insurance cost or local tax rule.

The published guide narrative may include planning figures from its original publication record; those figures do not share one documented observation period. Verify road distance, mover quotes, housing costs and taxes with route-specific providers before making a decision.
