Know the whole bill
The service fee is one line in the budget. Use amounts from a local quote to separate monthly spending from deposits and other upfront cash.
First-year spending = 12 × monthly spending + one-off fees. The refundable deposit is shown only in upfront cash. This assumes constant monthly costs for 12 months and excludes anything not entered, including future exit charges.
