Methodology

This index aggregates cost-of-living data from 15 institutional sources to create a single comparable score for 95 countries. Our methodology:

Primary source: Numbeo Cost of Living Index (user-reported, updated monthly) provides the baseline cost comparison across cities and countries.
Purchasing power adjustment: World Bank Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) data adjusts for real buying power, not just exchange rates.
Sub-index composition: We break the overall index into 5 sub-indexes (groceries, rent, utilities, transport, housing purchase) for granular comparison.
Monthly estimate calibration: We calibrate the cost index so that the US (index 82) equals approximately $3,000/month for a single person including rent, then apply the same ratio to all countries. Rounded to the nearest $50.
Confidence scoring: Each country receives a data-quality confidence score (0-1) based on source freshness, sample size, and cross-validation between sources.

Sub-indexes are normalized to a 0-100 scale where higher = more expensive. The overall cost_index is a weighted composite of all sub-indexes.

Methodology

This index aggregates cost-of-living data from 15 institutional sources to create a single comparable score for 95 countries. Our methodology:

Primary source: Numbeo Cost of Living Index (user-reported, updated monthly) provides the baseline cost comparison across cities and countries.
Purchasing power adjustment: World Bank Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) data adjusts for real buying power, not just exchange rates.
Sub-index composition: We break the overall index into 5 sub-indexes (groceries, rent, utilities, transport, housing purchase) for granular comparison.
Monthly estimate calibration: We calibrate the cost index so that the US (index 82) equals approximately $3,000/month for a single person including rent, then apply the same ratio to all countries. Rounded to the nearest $50.
Confidence scoring: Each country receives a data-quality confidence score (0-1) based on source freshness, sample size, and cross-validation between sources.

Sub-indexes are normalized to a 0-100 scale where higher = more expensive. The overall cost_index is a weighted composite of all sub-indexes.
