Frequently asked questions
What is the most expensive city to live in 2026?
Including rent, New York, USA is the most expensive city in our 542-city comparison: one person with a comfortable lifestyle and a one-bedroom flat in the centre needs about $5,613 a month. For everyday prices excluding rent, Zurich, Switzerland is the most expensive, with a cost of living index of 118.5, about 19% above New York City.
What is the cheapest city to live in?
Patna, India is the cheapest city in the comparison, at about $411 a month for one person including a city-centre flat. Indian cities take most of the lowest places in the 2026 rankings.
How much money do I need to live comfortably as a digital nomad?
In the cheapest cities that offer a remote-work visa, a comfortable nomad budget including coworking and health insurance starts at around $793 a month. The five cheapest are Bandung (Indonesia, about $793), Barranquilla (Colombia, about $1,017), Bishkek (Kyrgyzstan, about $1,019), Cuenca (Ecuador, about $1,025), Davao (Philippines, about $1,028). Most visa programmes also require you to prove a minimum income, often US$2,000–4,000 a month.
Which countries have a digital nomad visa?
Of the 128 countries in this dataset, 37 offer a dedicated remote-work or digital nomad visa or permit, including Portugal, Spain, Greece, Croatia, Estonia, Italy, Malaysia, Thailand, Japan, the UAE, Costa Rica, Colombia and Brazil. Income thresholds change often, so check the official government site before applying.
How do I compare my salary between two cities?
Pick your current city and the city you are considering, then enter your monthly take-home pay. The tool estimates the monthly budget in both places for the same lifestyle and household, and scales your pay by the ratio between them to show the salary you would need after the move.
What does the cost of living index mean?
The cost of living index compares the price of everyday goods and services, such as groceries, restaurants, transport and utilities, with New York City, which is set to 100. A city with an index of 50 has everyday prices about half of New York’s. Rent is measured separately.
Is rent included in the monthly cost?
Yes. The monthly total includes rent for a one-bedroom flat (three bedrooms for a family of four), either in the city centre or outside it, depending on the option you choose. The rankings use city-centre rent.
How often is this data updated?
This page was last updated on 25 October 2026. City price indices are from 2026, and exchange rates update live in your browser when possible, with reference rates from 15 October 2026 as a fallback.
Which Swiss cities are the most expensive?
All 6 Swiss cities in this comparison are among the most expensive in the world. Zurich and Geneva lead the 2026 index, followed by Basel, Lausanne and Bern.
Methodology and sources
Where the numbers come from
Cost, rent, grocery and restaurant indices for 424 cities come from 2026 city price indices, where New York City = 100. For 84 of them, added in this update, individual prices, take-home pay and pollution are estimated from the most similar city we already track in the same country and marked *. For 95 smaller cities without a 2026 index, prices were adjusted by the median 2026 change for other cities in the same country. 23 cities still use earlier figures and are marked ‡.
How the monthly budget is estimated
Rent is a one-bedroom flat (three-bedroom for a family). Groceries use a basket of staple prices scaled to a full month. Eating out, transport, utilities, internet, phone and leisure scale with each city’s cost index. Remote workers add a coworking desk and international health insurance (about US$130 per adult).
Salaries and currencies
Salaries are average monthly take-home pay after tax. Currency conversion uses live market rates when your browser can reach them, otherwise reference rates from 15 October 2026 (European Central Bank via Banque de France).
Limitations
- Averages hide big differences between neighbourhoods.
- Short-term and furnished rentals usually cost more.
- Visa rules and thresholds change often; verify before you apply.
- Pollution figures are indicative; lower is cleaner.
