How the Personal Services Score Is Calculated

The overall score is a weighted average across four indicators. Nomadino calculates: personal services score = haircut cost × 0.25 + fitness club monthly fee × 0.25 + laundry and cleaning cost × 0.25 + simple local services × 0.25.

Haircut cost: 25%
Fitness club monthly fee: 25%
Laundry and cleaning cost: 25%
Simple local services: 25%

Nomadino uses normalized indicator scores on a 0 to 100 scale, where higher means lower everyday service costs. All four indicators are weighted equally because they cover different but similarly relevant everyday cases: personal care, fitness, laundry and simple local help.

A heavier weight on one item would quickly distort the board because personal services are used very differently depending on lifestyle. Equal weighting makes the board more robust as a general everyday-cost block. If an indicator is removed with the checkbox, Nomadino divides by the sum of the remaining weights, preserving the relative importance of the active indicators.
