How much does it cost to live in Australia alone?
To live in Adelaide on a moderate budget, you'll need around $2,053/month. That covers renting a studio in a normal area ($1,353), weekday lunches out ($353), weekend casual meals ($85), a daily coffee, tea, or other cheap drinks ($119), a monthly transit pass ($82), and a few taxi rides ($62). No gym, no dining out every night — just everyday life.
How much does it cost to live in Australia for two?
2 persons
$3,230
≈ €2,780
If there are two of you, plan on around $3,230 ≈ €2,780/month — a proper apartment ($1,831), meals and daily drinks for both, two transit passes, and more taxi rides.
What does it cost to raise a family in Australia?
