Hope you are keeping well.
I am from Press, Channel13, a large private national network. We are trying to built a comparison of the cost of living in Chile. Do you have an expert voice that speaks Spanish? Please let me know. We do an equivalent show like Good Morning America, and would address this issue tomorrow morning.
Thanks,

Health insurance for a family (of 3)
Approximate tax brackets
I have been offered a $44.000 annual salary and I have a family of 3.
Where I needed to go, but I cooperated with gas, endless toll bridges, food during the trip.
Metro. Rental for 15 days US 450 - 530 ( Airbnb takes a chunk in Comission ) , paid in advanced.
Expenses on Arrival included : 2 Airport transfers CPL $ 8300 each, cook simple things. Supermarket : 3
Gallons of water, 5 lts milk, juices, daily fresh breads, fresh tomatoes, lettuce, dz. eggs, ham, cheese, salami ( twice, 1/4 each time), 2 bottles liquid Yoghurts, , small box mash potatoes, beef steaks, 6 prepared meals, 1 kL rice., bottle pisco sour, chicken to cook, etc., etc. & some indulgences... few lunch restaurants meals, few dinners, few drinks, some coffee
& tarts, or ice cream, etc. Part of this included 4 days traveling : money for gas, tolls, food on the road. My meals included breakfast, lunch & dinner. I also used the Metro around 10 times & had a local cell phone, & did small shopping at H & M. All this CPL $ 660.000 or us$ 1000/ one person for 15 days, end of Feb, almost mid March 2019. One thing there, money goes quickly & you find yourself constantly breaking into a new cpl $ 20.000 bill. Exchange is around one dollar ~ 640., or Cpl $ 1000 = us$ 1.50 Which was corroborated with other purchases made by c. card. So, when you see a price in CPL, add a 50% more to get the price into dollar . This, did not included “ any” extravaganza, performances, hotels, or any thing lavish .... Hope his helps anyone to get a picture .
Schools here are insanely expensive, for my eight-year-old about 1.300.000 per month. So Anonymous you can live on 3M a month but you will save nothing. My rent is about 1.250.000 in Vitacura with expenses.
I am from India and I got an offer to move to Santiago for an indefinite term. They offered me a residence visa subject to contract with all medical benefits. I am married and having a kid 2.5yrs old. My wife works in a bank and eventually will look for a job once we move there.
My company has offered me CLP 34,80,000/month before tax. The liquid salary as per their calculation is CLP 30,00,016. Also they have offered 2 tickets to travel to India in a year. There is also yearly bonus of 1.4 times of monthly gross and joining bonus as of monthly gross. 13 UF will be also provided for my kid's education.
Is this enough to live a good lifestyle? I do not like much travelling. But keeping all things in mind like, fooding, lodging, kid's education etc, can I save CLP 20,00,000/month?
Thanks.
Staying for longer periods always brings down coats substantially, but if you are looking to eat and drink out often, it is not going to be a reasonable affair.
The one thing that is great about Chile though is its scenic beauty. It's worth every dime.
Although Santiago is not cheap, you will be able to fly around, i don't know about Asia, as you will be litelly in the opposite side of the world, but is up to you if you want to test you butt in the plane for 16 hours non stop. :)
cheers and have fun.
I got an offer from my employer to move to Santiago for work. They offered me a local contract with all medical benefits. I am married with a husband, who will eventually plan to get a job there too but for now he will just move with me.
My company has offered me USD 6900/month before tax. I did some basic calculations and it seems after tax and pension/medical deductions I will be making close to USD 6000/month.
Is this enough to live a fun lifestyle? I'm talking like skiing during the weekends, traveling to Europe/Asia/North America maybe 2 times a year and traveling within LATAM 2-3 times a year?
I would like to save at least USD 2000 a month and I'm planning to rent a 2 bed condo around Las Condes with minimum of 90sqm in size.
Thanks.
1. Santiago is one of the safest cities I've lived in Latin America, of course using LATAM standards.
2. If you want to truly enjoy what Santiago has to offer, no. Nonetheless, you can survive in English if spanish is not required to your assignment.
3. I never really stopped to look at veg restaurants but I'm sure a quick google search would help you.
4. Cost of living depends on your lifestyle, you can check breakdowns in Coco's comment below, I find it quite accurate. I'd say that a single person with no children on their 30s would have a comfortable but simple life with $2000/m.
I am planning to visit Santiago on a business trip for around 6 months, Please help me with some queries:
1. Being a single lady, is it safe?
2. I dont know Spanish, only English. Is it manageable with only English?
3. Are there sufficient Veg food options available, as I have not tried non-veg so far
4. What will be approx cost of living per month for me(In USD)(I am ok with staying in a shared apartment or PG). I would be great if you can also provide the details with basic breakup like (Rent, Food, Transport, Health etc.)
Any pointer is highly appreciated.
Thank you so much #Coco. I appreciate it.
