How much does it cost to live in Indonesia alone?
To live in Medan on a moderate budget, you'll need around $388/month. That covers renting a studio in a normal area ($222), weekday lunches out ($46), weekend casual meals ($29), a daily coffee, tea, or other cheap drinks ($67), a monthly transit pass ($8), and a few taxi rides ($16). No gym, no dining out every night — just everyday life.
How much does it cost to live in Indonesia for two?
If there are two of you, plan on around $672 ≈ €600/month — a proper apartment ($339), meals and daily drinks for both, two transit passes, and more taxi rides.
What does it cost to raise a family in Indonesia?
With a child, the total comes to around $721 ≈ €644/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.
