What would your month actually cost?
A realistic monthly budget — rent, groceries, utilities, health cover, transport, and a life — for the twelve countries expats actually move to, adjusted for your household and city choice.
Where the numbers come from: baseline figures are drawn from our country cost-of-living guides (national statistics offices, Eurostat HICP, and rental platforms' published indices), cross-checked July 2026. "Capital" means the main expat city (Lisbon, Madrid, Paris…); "regional" means a mid-size town. Your lifestyle can move any line by ±30%.
