Fixed income planning
We map your monthly pension or social security payment against real Bali living costs, so you know where the number works and where it breaks.
Book Consultation
Fixed-income planning maps your pension or social security payment against Bali housing, health cover, transport, visa renewals and a currency buffer, so you know before moving whether the number works.
Housing is the biggest variable: a village lease and a beach-strip serviced apartment can differ by several multiples for the same bedrooms.
| Category | Weight in the plan | What we look at |
|---|---|---|
| Housing | Biggest variable | Annual or multi-year lease versus monthly rental, deposits, areas in your band |
| Healthcare | Core line | International or local insurance, clinic visits, travel to a larger hospital city |
| Daily living | Lifestyle-driven | Imported or local groceries, eating out, household help, utilities, internet |
| Mobility | Depends on mobility | Scooter, private driver or owning a car |
| Administration | Recurring | Visa and stay-permit renewals, documents, trips home |
| Buffer | Sized deliberately | Currency movement, medical surprises, repairs and replacements |
We do not quote official government fees for visas, stay permits or taxes.
Retirees with one income stream that will not grow: a defined pension, annuity or government payment. That includes Australian superannuation pensions, US social security, UK state and workplace pensions, one-pension couples and single retirees.
Income arrives in one currency and almost every bill is paid in rupiah. We build every plan twice, at recent rates and at a deliberately unfavourable rate, and look at what you would cut first.
Most fixed-income plans are built over a few weeks, because the stress test is worth doing slowly.
Every engagement starts with a written intake over WhatsApp, so nothing depends on a call you cannot re-read.
A questionnaire on income, health, mobility and lifestyle, then a confirmed scope.
A written budget in your currency and rupiah, re-run at weaker rates and with a medical event.
A shortlist of realistic locations, with the trade-offs written out.
Viewings, lease review referrals and service providers coordinated through the move.
We are an independent planning and relocation support service, not a law firm, tax adviser, financial adviser or immigration agency. Nothing here is financial, tax or legal advice.
