How much does it cost to live in Brazil alone?
To live in Rio de Janeiro on a moderate budget, you'll need around $924/month. That covers renting a studio in a normal area ($523), weekday lunches out ($157), weekend casual meals ($60), a daily coffee, tea, or other cheap drinks ($92), a monthly transit pass ($50), and a few taxi rides ($44). No gym, no dining out every night — just everyday life.
How much does it cost to live in Brazil for two?
2 persons
$1,369
≈ €1,224
If there are two of you, plan on around $1,369 ≈ €1,224/month — a proper apartment ($566), meals and daily drinks for both, two transit passes, and more taxi rides.
What does it cost to raise a family in Brazil?
