NomadBurn helps remote workers, freelancers, and indie makers calculate monthly burn, runway, and break-even income before choosing a nomad city. Compare rough planning costs across popular remote-work destinations with no signup required.
How does it actually pull the city cost data and how fresh is it, since rents and coworking prices in nomad hubs can shift pretty fast?
@sevcan893880 Good question. NomadBurn doesn’t pull live real-time pricing yet. The current city numbers are planning estimates based on publicly available cost-of-living references, nomad/community benchmarks, and manual sanity checks against common expense categories like rent, food, transport, coworking, and local basics.
I’m treating them as baseline numbers for a quick runway gut-check, not a live rent index. You’re right that rents and coworking prices can move fast, so I’m adding clearer “last reviewed” context and optional buffers for volatile costs like coworking day passes and local SIM/data.
Would love a toggle to factor in fluctuating local SIM and coworking day-pass costs, since those can swing a lot month to month in places like Mexico City or Lisbon. Right now everything looks pretty steady which feels a bit optimistic when actually living there.
@mert214580 Great point. NomadBurn currently shows a steady baseline, but real nomad costs can definitely swing month to month, especially SIM/data and coworking day passes.
I’m going to add an optional local variability buffer so people can factor in SIM/data changes and coworking day-pass swings instead of treating the monthly cost as too stable. Thanks for calling this out.
Tried it with Lisbon and Bali for my own freelance numbers and the runway estimate was actually pretty close to what I track in my spreadsheet. Wish it pulled in a couple more Eastern European spots, but it's a solid quick gut-check before booking a flight.
@kazm4y6g Thanks so much for trying it with your own freelance numbers. That’s exactly the kind of gut-check use case I hoped NomadBurn would be useful for before someone commits to a city.
Good call on Eastern Europe too. I’m planning to add a few more cities there next, likely places like Tbilisi, Budapest, Prague, Warsaw, and Belgrade, so the comparisons are less Asia/Western Europe-heavy.
