Compare living costs worldwide
Get personalized monthly estimates based on your lifestyle. Real data from expats, updated regularly.
About This Tool
Our cost of living comparison tool helps you understand what expats actually spend living abroad. Unlike generic cost databases, this tool lets you customize your lifestyle—from housing preferences to dining habits—to get a realistic monthly estimate.
All cost data comes from on-the-ground research: real rental listings, local restaurant prices, utility bills from expat households, and current transportation costs. We update this data regularly and show you when each city was last verified.
Destinations We Cover
We cover 101 destinations across multiple countries, from Mexican colonial towns to Japanese metropolises.
