See the costs.
Keep the unknowns visible.

Understand money needed to move in, recurring spending and one possible leaving fee. Use a fictional example or your own written figures. No village prices are filled in for you.

Fictional example — these amounts are not regional averages or an operator offer.

1. Moving in

Use the fee base written in the contract. This amount is not necessarily fully refundable.

Blank means unknown. Enter 0 only when you have confirmed no such fee applies. Included fees are not added to move-in cash twice.

2. Living there

Include only charges you have actually identified. Utilities, rates, care and other services may be extra.

Optional: change the yearly increase assumption

0% keeps the illustration flat. It is not a forecast, an inflation estimate or a legal limit. Weekly conversion uses 52 weeks, fortnightly 26.

3. Leaving

Only straight-rate, capped whole-anniversary examples are supported. Not partial years, early-exit guarantees, capital sharing, land lease or aged care.

Real new-contract fees can accrue daily. This tool does not calculate an actual departure date or decide which law applies.

Your illustration

01 · Move-in cash represented by these inputs—Not a fee consumed. Excludes unentered deposits, moving and legal costs.
02 · Recurring charges entered, over this stay—Annual equivalent not yet calculated.
03 · Modelled deferred fee only—Not all leaving costs.
Actual refund and payment date: not calculated.

The amount repaid also depends on the actual agreement, other deductions, capital adjustments and payment triggers.

Partial modelled costs: —

Entry fees + recurring spending + this deferred fee. Not a complete cost of living, refund or investment comparison. Calculations retain full precision; displayed amounts are rounded to cents.

What changes with the length of stay?

Same inputs and assumptions. No future property value or refund forecast.

Questions to take to the operator

    Always ask about the refundable portion, additional bills, other exit deductions, early-exit conditions and when any money is paid back. Request the operator’s own 1-, 2-, 5- and 10-year examples and, for an existing resident, a contract check.
