The budget is based on real cost data from Numbeo, Expatistan, and institutional sources, calibrated for 67 countries with detailed category multipliers. For countries without detailed data, we estimate from our cost-of-living index. Actual costs vary by city — use our City Cost Compare tool for city-level precision.
Lean (0.7x) means shared housing, cooking at home, public transport, and minimal dining out. Moderate (1x) is a comfortable solo apartment, regular groceries with some dining out, and standard transport. Comfortable (1.4x) is premium housing, frequent dining, private transport, and premium healthcare.
Family size adjusts each category differently. A couple shares rent (no increase) but nearly doubles groceries and dining. A family of 4 needs 1.5x rent (larger apartment), 2.5x groceries and healthcare, and 1.6x transport. Internet stays the same regardless of family size.
