≈ Commute (estimated pass price)≈ commute (estimated pass price): only when a workplace is set, money left also deducts what one adult would pay per year for a public-transport pass (2nd class) to the workplace, one commuter per household (two, each with their own pass, when dual-income couples add a second workplace). It is estimated from the national distance tariff and never more than a GA travelcard; it is not a fare quote. Zone networks (ZVV, Libero, Mobilis …) price by zones, so there a real pass can be a quarter cheaper or dearer; overall the estimate is slightly high more often than low.

Very few vacant flats: on 1 June 2026, 0.34% of dwellings stood empty and on offer (below 0.5%).Hints, not a verdict; they don't change money left or the order. Rent > ⅓ income: 12 × the average net rent for your flat size is more than a third of your gross household income. Many landlords and agencies expect rent to stay within about a third of income; they usually count rent with service charges, which this figure leaves out, so the real share is higher. Vacancy < 0.5%: fewer than 1 in 200 dwellings stood empty and on offer on 1 June 2026 (BFS). The federal housing office sees the market in balance at about 1.5% and tight below 1%; below 0.5% flats are very hard to find. In small communes a few flats change the rate a lot.How the hints work →Source: Federal Statistical Office (FSO/BFS), dwelling vacancy survey 2026; reference date 2026-06-01.All sources →
