The Exit Plan

Compare cities before you make a move.

The Exit Plan helps you answer two useful questions: what you would need to earn to make a place work, and what income would feel equivalent to your life now.

Use it to compare cities side by side, pressure-test a shortlist, and get clearer about whether a move needs more income, lower costs, or a different plan entirely.

Compare real cities

See multiple options together instead of guessing one place at a time.

Use your own baseline

Lifestyle, housing, household setup, and buffers all stay in your hands.

Make the tradeoffs clearer

See whether the gap is mostly about income, rent, or overall cost of living.

Minimum income needed

See the minimum monthly income you would need to make a city work on your chosen baseline.
