How much does it cost to live in Brazil alone?
To live in Belo Horizonte on a moderate budget, you'll need around $736/month. That covers renting a studio in a normal area ($366), weekday lunches out ($157), weekend casual meals ($50), a daily coffee, tea, or other cheap drinks ($92), a monthly transit pass ($44), and a few taxi rides ($27). No gym, no dining out every night — just everyday life.
How much does it cost to live in Brazil for two?
2 persons
$1,246
≈ €1,114
If there are two of you, plan on around $1,246 ≈ €1,114/month — a proper apartment ($506), meals and daily drinks for both, two transit passes, and more taxi rides.
What does it cost to raise a family in Brazil?
With a child, the total comes to around $1,369 ≈ €1,224/month. Kids eat less, rarely pay for transit, but you'll need more taxi rides and little extras add up fast. School fees not included.
