Main answer

Why the result leans this way
Packages often cover less than the lived reality
Support usually looks adequate until deposits, brokerage, and setup purchases are added to the move budget.
Recovery still depends on salary uplift
Even if the package leaves a gap, a strong monthly uplift can make the move financially acceptable over time.

Frequently asked questions
Why count deposit and setup as relocation cost?
Because they create a real cash outflow on day one even if some of that money may come back later.
How should I use the relocation package evaluator result?
Run it with conservative and aggressive assumptions. If the conclusion survives both cases, the decision is usually more robust.
What can change the real outcome?
Taxes, policy rules, employer terms, personal behavior, and financing costs can all move the final result away from the estimate.
