How to build an employee relocation budget
Use the employee relocation cost calculator to compare a move’s main cost categories before committing to a plan. Begin with the origin and destination, then consider the household and the services you need. A single employee moving into furnished accommodation may need a different scope from a family shipping a home’s contents.
Review the assumptions behind the estimate. Housing, flights, shipping, immigration support, and other services should reflect the route and your intended timing. Treat the result as a planning estimate. Request current provider quotes before approving purchases or setting a final allowance.
For an employer, separate the relocation budget from the policy governing it. Clarify which costs are covered, whether there are caps, and who approves exceptions. A useful budget makes responsibilities visible as well as showing a total.
Use the estimate to prepare a conversation with Gullie about the actual move. Bring any quotes or arrangements you already have so the team can identify what remains and explain the support that fits your brief.
Common questions
Is the Gullie relocation cost estimator free?

What does the relocation cost estimator include?
It produces an AI-researched, itemized estimate of an employee move, covering housing, flights, immigration, taxes, and other services, based on the route and the services you need, with cited sources.
How much does it cost to relocate an employee internationally?
A full relocation package typically runs $15,000 to $75,000 for a domestic move and $75,000 to $250,000 or more for an international one, depending on the route, family size, and services included. Housing, immigration, and shipping are usually the largest line items. Run the estimator for an itemized number for your specific route.
How accurate is the estimate?
The estimate is AI-researched from current sources and cited, but it is a planning estimate, not a quote. Actual costs vary with timing, providers, and individual circumstances.
