Your Freedom Number is the corpus that lets your investments pay for your life — forever. Set your expenses and your monthly SIP, and see how many years stand between you and freedom.

Age changes the weights. Children change them again. Set your stage, score the cities you are actually choosing between, and see whether the gap between them is real — or just your assumptions.
About the research scores. Lens scores are our editorial judgement over government data — CPCB annual PM2.5 and PM10, AAI passenger counts (June 2026), NIRF Medical 2025, HCES 2023-24 household spending, state power tariffs and hospital rosters checked in September 2026 — for a household retiring on ₹4 crore. Belonging is held at 5 everywhere: it is yours. Not an official ranking.
The list only has cities we have actually researched — each one checked against the same government data on air, hospitals, airports and living costs. Tell us which city to study next.
