Our indexes are aggregated from Numbeo, Expatistan, ECA International, and government statistical offices. We use London as the baseline (index 100) and calculate relative ratios for 100+ cities across seven spending categories. Everything is reviewed quarterly.
The relative comparison is robust — if CityPricer says Lisbon is 33% cheaper than London, that directional figure is well-grounded. Absolute amounts vary by neighbourhood, lifestyle choices, and timing. Think of it as a precise compass, not a GPS.
Quarterly, with mid-cycle updates for markets experiencing rapid inflation or currency shifts. The last data collection was 30 March 2026. We don't use stale data — if something significant changes, we update it.
Completely free. No account, no paywall, no email. We believe financial clarity shouldn't sit behind a login screen.
Please do. If a city is missing or a figure looks off, contact us via the link in the footer. On-the-ground feedback from people who actually live in these cities is our best calibration tool.
