Step 1: How the Calculator Works

  • You'll be guided through five short steps that capture common monthly expenses, such as housing, upkeep, and lifestyle costs.
  • If an expense doesn't apply to you, simply enter "0." If you're unsure about a number, you can use area averages as a reference.
  • At the end, you'll receive a side-by-side estimate comparing your current expenses with the cost of senior living, helping you see where expenses may shift or simplify.
Smart Tip

The estimate becomes more accurate as you move through all five steps, so we encourage you to complete the full process for the most helpful results. Remember, this calculator provides an estimate, not an official quote.
