Cost of Living in Thailand & Calculator

Trying to estimate a cost of living is difficult at best .. perhaps even impossible. Lifestyle and Thai fever (coming) has such a large impact on how much expats spend that much self evaluation is needed.
  • For families with school age children, international school fees can be a significant factor.
  • If you have expensive hobbies and pastimes where you live now, odds are that they will be in Thailand.
  • Compared to the U.S. and U.K., automobiles are expensive. The larger the engine displacement the higher the relative price.

Getting a handle on your Thailand budget

This tool will give you an approximation of funds required for living in Thailand. The factors used to calculate results are generalizations and can vary significantly.

You will need to do some of your own research, especially for estimating health insurance, health care, automobile, etc. More about our approach.

Our approach with this tool.
  • All budget items are normalized as monthly expenses
  • To give you some approximations
  • To remind you of what you may need to consider
  • We welcome your feedback
*L - be sure to include an estimated number of times you plan on connecting to a landline internet connection. Landline is generally (but not always) charged by the number of hours connected, so staying online can be more expensive than dialing up for each usage
*M - depends to a great extent on your calling arrangement and provider
