Rental calculators
Before you sign anything, run the numbers. These free tools help you figure out what you can afford, how much bond to save, and how to split rent fairly.
How much rent can I afford?
A rough rule: spend no more than 30% of your take-home pay on rent.
How much bond will I need?
Bond in NZ is typically 2–4 weeks rent, held by Tenancy Services.
Split rent between flatmates
Fair doesn't always mean equal; factor in room sizes and amenities.
What will moving cost me?
Beyond rent and bond, there are a few other costs to factor in when moving flats.
