The real cash it takes to move in.

It's rarely just the first month. Deposits, fees, and moving costs stack up fast — and they're due all at once. Size it, then see how fast you can save it. Zowly tracks it; you hold the money.

Why it's worth naming its own goal: move-in cash is lumpy and due all at once, so it's easy to underestimate and get caught short. Give it a target and a date and it stops being a scramble. This is money to hold in your own account — Zowly shows the number and tracks your pace; it never moves or holds your money.

You entered these numbers; deposits, fees, and requirements vary by landlord and location. Estimates, not guarantees. Zowly is a financial calculation and education tool, not a financial advisor.
