Mercer Mobilize Housing Solution

Expatriate housing with a perfect view

Provide equitable, cost-effective housing allowances with up-to-date, transparent, and accurate expatriate housing data for over 430 locations worldwide on a platform that lets you tailor housing decisions to your company's needs.

How it works

Mercer Mobilize Housing Solution™ helps you provide your employees with effective housing budget.

The tool allows you to calculate housing allowance taking into account a range of factors such as family size, property type, cost categories, number of bedrooms, and your budget.

If you upgrade to advanced functionalities, you gain access also to maps, neighborhoods, more cost categories, reverse lookup by setting the price range, display averages, as well as the option to determine the housing allowance by job position levels.
