CHICAGO COST OF LIVING CALCULATOR
$5.00
Moving to Chicago? This Excel calculator uses real Chicago cost data to tell you exactly how much rent, utilities, groceries, and furniture you can afford based on your income.
Generic budget calculators won't tell you what a 1BR actually costs in Chicago's best neighborhoods. This calculator is built with Chicago-specific data — median 1BR ~$1,850/mo, strong value vs. coasts.
What's included:
- Chicago-specific rent ranges by neighborhood tier (budget / mid / premium)
- Utilities, groceries, transit, and dining-out cost estimates
- Furniture budget calculator (10-15% of annual rent method)
- Monthly surplus/deficit tracker
- Move-in cost estimator (first + last + deposit + setup)
