How accurate is the cost of living data?

Cost figures are Orabo's curated estimates for a single adult living in each city, covering rent (1-bedroom city centre), groceries, local transport, utilities, and dining. Values are reviewed periodically. Individual costs vary by neighbourhood and lifestyle.

Which currencies does the calculator support?

USD, GBP, EUR, CAD, NGN, KES, GHS, ZAR, AUD, and NZD. Amounts convert automatically when you change the display currency.

What is included in the monthly total?

Five categories: rent (1-bedroom city centre), groceries, local transport, utilities (electricity, water, internet), and dining out. The total is an estimate for a single adult.

How often is the data updated?

We review the data set periodically. The figures are estimates — for visa applications or relocation budgeting, verify current costs with local sources.

Can I compare multiple cities at once?

Yes. The free calculator shows one city at a time. You can compare up to 4 cities side by side with a full cost breakdown using the Pro comparison feature.

Single-city results are completely free with no sign-up required. Multi-city comparison (up to 4) is available to Pro subscribers at $12/month.
