Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I find a cost-of-living index for a destination?
Sites like Numbeo and Expatistan provide city-level cost-of-living indices relative to a baseline city, which you can use to scale your own current spending into an estimate for a new destination.
Does this account for visa or travel costs?
No, this estimates ongoing monthly living costs only. Visa fees, flights, travel insurance, and initial setup costs (deposits, gear) should be budgeted separately as one-time or periodic expenses.
Should I add a buffer to this estimate?
Yes — many experienced nomads recommend budgeting 15-20% above initial cost estimates for a new destination, since unfamiliarity often leads to higher initial spending until you learn local prices and habits.
