About

A neutral reference for what life costs.

It's hard to find out what life actually costs in another country. The official figures are dated and clunky to use, and the popular comparison sites run on crowdsourced numbers you can't fully trust. costofliving.is exists to give a clear, sourced answer to one question: how much does life cost here, and what is my income really worth?

We let the data tell the story. Every figure is drawn from primary, open sources and cited on the page. We don't editorialise the numbers, and we'd rather show a gap than a guess.
