Basket of Goods and Services

This tool calculates the cost of a customized basket of goods and services for each city.

Go to the basket of goods and services for each country

Define your own market basket by selecting specific quantities of the goods and services we track. This allows you to generate personalized cost-of-living reports that reflect your individual lifestyle (e.g., the cost of eating at restaurants daily). Economic researchers can also use this tool to create custom statistics based on our cost-of-living data.
