A new report on relocation costs found that restarting your life in major cities like Singapore requires over $10,500 (Sh1.4 million) to cover rent deposits, first month payment and three months of living expenses.
This is according to the study done by the online trading platform Atmos, which analysed key rent expenses across 35 major cities to determine how much money someone needs to make a fresh start.
Getting started in Singapore costs over $10,500 (Sh1.4 million), more than any other city studied, and rent alone eats up nearly two-thirds of the budget.
The June 2026 study chose cities with high safety, excluding any with a security index below 60.
