How much does it cost to live in Brazil alone?
To live in Salvador on a moderate budget, you'll need around $801/month. That covers renting a studio in a normal area ($417), weekday lunches out ($161), weekend casual meals ($57), a daily coffee, tea, or other cheap drinks ($98), a monthly transit pass ($39), and a few taxi rides ($30). No gym, no dining out every night — just everyday life.
How much does it cost to live in Brazil for two?
2 persons
$1,192
≈ €1,065
If there are two of you, plan on around $1,192 ≈ €1,065/month — a proper apartment ($424), 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 $1,320 ≈ €1,180/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.
