How We Calculate

Our cost model adjusts base country averages using a multiplier based on your selected budget level. For example, if you set rent to $800, we apply a factor relative to the country's baseline rent. The baseline costs (50th percentile expat spending) are:

CountryBaseline RentBaseline FoodBaseline UtilsBaseline HealthBaseline TransportBaseline Leisure
Thailand$550$250$100$150$90$180
