Cost of Living in Buenos Aires

I live here and the current information is still very accurate. The average net salary here is also accurate but middle class professionals make a lot more than 20k (upwards of 30k).

This is not accurate at all. It would be better if you erase past contributions and focus on the latest month. The inflation rate is very, very High. I life in Berlin and acording to this BA is 43% cheaper than Berlin, whereas I am certain that BA is actually more expensive than Berlin, maybe by about 10-20% depending on what.

the offer of internet is around 20 or 30 gigas, Mbps.... 6 mbps does not exist .....
Telecentro starts offers with 30Mbps (including phone, and cable, and internet) 1138(in fact that is the 6 fist months, after that is around 1400)
Fibertel starts offers with 25 megas alone, 923 (internet only,with wifi), with cable it is more than 1600
Speedy costs more than 1200 (adsl)10Mbps

#Administrator, 6 months is too much for Argentina as the inflation will probably be around 23% for 2018. 3 months or less would be more accurate depending on how much data you have in your records of course.

With all due respect I suggest to consider only the contributions from the last three months, due to the high inflation Buenos Aires notoriously has. 2017 is closing with 22,5 or 23% inflation (20,9% until Nov 30 official INDEC data + personal estimation of 1,5-2% for December). This means that if you keep considering 12 months, the data shown here will be surely an underestimation. I know that considering a 3 months period means having 1/4 of the contributions, but still 85 contributions from the last 3 months would be more precise than 341 from the last 12. Another important consideration is that current inflation in no more mainly tied to the loss of value of the Peso, as it used to be until 2015, but it involves prices in Dollars too.

The 2017 cost of utilities listed (water, electricity, gas...) is incorrect. In a 150 sq meter apt in Retiro neighborhood, I pay over U$S50 monthly in water for my apt (based on square footage, not on usage in the city of Bs Aires). Electricity amounts to about U$S35-40 monthly in winter months, but goes up notably in hot summer months due to AC use. I pay for gas (central heating) in my "expensas" - according to our bldg manager, each apt is paying approx U$S70-100 per month solely for gas, depending on the season. Also keep in mind that "expensas" (apt management fees) are nearly impossible to avoid, as laws govern who can administer buildings, what they charge, and if there has to be an onsite supervisor - these amount to another U$S300 dollars (not included in rent) for 150 m2. If you prorate these costs to an 85 m2 apt, they amount to U$S250-260 per month. This is not including rent. Compared to the avg monthly salary, the cost of living is high. Earning potential must be included in the analysis to see if a city is truly expensive or inexpensive...

How much a electrical engineer earn per month? And what's the real price for a one bedroom in centre city? Thanks!

One-bedroom in "city center" for $434? Ha! Maybe if you consider Avelleneda neighborhood the "city center" (and you might want to buy a gun). Any place I'd consider living you better plan on at least $1000. If you happen to be a foreigner and don't have access to a "guarantee", which is required for a standard lease - and which you won't, then plan on $1500 for a decent one-bedroom somewhere in the desirable northern end of the city. Dinner for two in a decent parrilla? Try $80-100 with a cheap bottle of wine. My first apartment in 2006 was a beautiful two-bedroom with a view of the river in the Las Canitas neighborhood. That same apartment rents today for $2500. Welcome to Inflation, Inc.

Argentina fast paced changing economics and inflation rate, renders the data obsolete.
A reset and reload is necessary yearly when the country experiments a 35 to 45 % of inflation

@MB, what you're saying is a lie, an average salary in Argentine is around 18000 pesos which make it something like 1250 US dollars, previous to the devaluation of the argentine peso it was around 1700 US dollars. No matter how many years you've been living in Argentina, in this country asking other people how much do they earn is a BIG BIG BIG taboo and i can bet you anything that most people will avoid to answer that and the small number of people "willing" to tell what's their wages they won't tell you the truth, more likely they'll tell you less than they actually earn.

Average monthly salary 1068USD? I have lived 9 years in Argentina, met people from all walks of life and have met a handful of people making this kind of money. The average blue collar workers makes half of that and even some white collar workers such as computer programers, lawyers, psychologists, occupational therapists etc. It should be pointed out that the wealth inequality in Latin America is extreme, Argentina is no different, so it is possible that the average contributors to this site do make this kind of money. Speaking from personal experience talking to people, this is not the reality for the vast majority of the people.

It is difficult to correctly determine prices in Buenos Aires right now,
because there is an official exchange rate of AR$ 9.4 / US$ 1
and a parallel exchange rate of AR$ 15.50 / US$ 1.

I expressed the prices with the parallel exchange rate for the US dollar.

The problem is we don't know if the native Peso prices have been converted to U.S. dollars using the official exchange rate or the Blue market rate - which is what any tourist would be paying - making this list rather useless until we know that.

@David Look where it says "Currency:" with a drop down menu next to it.
