How to interpret the cost of living alone
The monthly calculation should go beyond rent. Condo fees, electricity, water, internet, groceries, transportation, health care, subscriptions and small repairs form the real cost of leaving home.
In the prefilled example, a person with R$5,500 in net income and around R$4,230 in expenses commits about three quarters of income. This may work for a while, but leaves less room for savings, emergencies and rent adjustments.

FAQ
How much of income can go to living alone?
There is no universal rule, but when housing and basic bills take more than half of net income, the budget usually becomes more sensitive to surprises.
Should I include an emergency fund in this decision?
The calculator shows monthly cost and leftover income. Ideally, part of the leftover amount should go to an emergency fund, especially during the first months living alone.
Does a comfortable result guarantee financial safety?
No. It is a simple classification. Debt, dependents, variable income and medical costs can change the analysis.
