How much does it cost to live in Brazil alone?
To live in Curitiba on a moderate budget, you'll need around $808/month. That covers renting a studio in a normal area ($386), weekday lunches out ($153), weekend casual meals ($55), a daily coffee, tea, or other cheap drinks ($86), a monthly transit pass ($64), and a few taxi rides ($64). No gym, no dining out every night — just everyday life.
How much does it cost to live in Brazil for two?
2 persons
$1,350
≈ €1,206
If there are two of you, plan on around $1,350 ≈ €1,206/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 $1,516 ≈ €1,355/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.
