Budget limitations
City presets use the 2025 Statistics Canada Market Basket Measure, 2023 base, for metropolitan areas and a family of two adults and two children. They describe a basic-needs threshold, not 2026 asking rents or a recommended living standard. Housing includes utilities; the separate utilities value is zero because already included. Replace reference values with actual quotes. Arrival expenses and individual needs require a separate reserve.
Operator and publication status
