How much does it cost to live in Vietnam alone?
To live in Hue on a moderate budget, you'll need around $301/month. That covers renting a studio in a normal area ($192), weekday lunches out ($69), weekend casual meals ($35), a daily coffee, tea, or other cheap drinks (), a monthly transit pass ($5), and a few taxi rides (). No gym, no dining out every night — just everyday life.
How much does it cost to live in Vietnam for two?
If there are two of you, plan on around $508 ≈ €454/month — a proper apartment ($292), meals and daily drinks for both, two transit passes, and more taxi rides.
What does it cost to raise a family in Vietnam?
With a child, the total comes to around $551 ≈ €493/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.
