Relocation Calculator

Moving/packing costs, temporary housing cost multiplied by the number of months you'll need it, and a miscellaneous expenses figure you enter for anything else (deposits, travel, incidentals).

Relocation allowance paid by an employer for a company-ordered transfer is generally exempt up to the actual expenses incurred, under the tax provision covering transfer-related allowances — amounts beyond actual expenses may be taxable.

If you're claiming this as an employer reimbursement or a tax-exempt allowance, keep receipts for moving costs and temporary housing, since exemption is usually tied to actual documented expenses, not an estimate.

Enter it as a monthly cost — the calculator multiplies it by the number of months you expect to need temporary housing before your permanent move-in.
