What Close the Distance tells you

The whole money-and-place picture, in plain words

Most apps for couples sell daily questions and countdowns. We answer the one question that actually decides things.

A clear verdict

Can you comfortably move in, will it be tight, or not quite yet — said plainly, with the number behind it.

🧾

The real upfront cost

Bond, flights, the partner visa, and the buffer to land on your feet — the total nobody else adds up.

🏡

Your future together

When you could own a place, with kids in the budget — the years after the move, not just moving day.

How it works

Three steps. About a minute.

01

Tell us about the two of you

Where you each live, what you each take home, and what you've saved so far.

02

Pick where you'd live

Rent or buy your first place, anywhere across 191 cities — tap a spot on the map.

03

See your plan

The verdict, the monthly money, the upfront cost, and your future — all on one screen.

The bit other calculators skip

The cost of being apart — and landing on your feet.

Rent calculators stop at the rent. Closing a real distance means flights to visit, the months one of you has no income after moving, and the partner visa. We put it all in.
