Hello everyone,

As every year, we invite you to share your experience regarding the cost of living in Singapore, and if possible, in the specific region or city where you live. This will help members who are planning to relocate in Singapore.

Here are some points to guide you; the idea is to provide average prices for each category:

When it comes to housing, what is the cost of renting or buying an apartment or house in Singapore?

How much do you pay for public transports such as buses, subways, trains, trams, or taxis?

Could you share the average monthly cost of your grocery shopping?

What is the cost of health insurance? How much does a medical consultation cost in Singapore?

What are the tuition fees for children?

What are the average monthly costs for electricity, gas, water, internet, and phone plans?

For leisure activities, how much does it cost monthly?

If there are other expenses you find relevant, please feel free to share them!

Thank you for your contribution.

Singapore's safety, low crime rate, well-developed infrastructure and modern amenities make it a popular destination expats. However it is one of the most expensive cities in the world to live in. Rent, food, and other necessities can be costly. Aside from the basics, it is also important to factor in some budget for medical expenses. I am pretty much well covered with mine, provided as part of my company's health benefits.
