Local prices are converted to USD at the recorded FX rate (2026-03-01). Time to afford is the price ÷ the local hourly median income (8-hour day, 22 days/month), from ILOSTAT. Affordability % is the USD price ÷ the local monthly minimum wage. A country with no reading on file is listed but not ranked.
Section · How this file is built
Method & provenance
One recorded reading
Figures come from Numbeo (Community Sourced), read for this index and dated 2026-03-01. It is a point-in-time reading held as a dated reference, not a live feed.
Normalized to USD
Local prices are converted to USD at a dated FX rate (2026-03-01) so countries are comparable. Currency moves after that date are not reflected.
Affordability, not just price
The same USD price is a different burden depending on local wages. The share-of-minimum-wage column and time-to-afford put each price next to what people there actually earn.
Not advice
Prices move with currencies and local markets. Treat this as a dated snapshot for comparison, not financial advice or a guide to arbitrage across borders.
Prices and the as-read date are real values from the PriceWorld indexes dataset, read 2026-03-01 from Numbeo (Community Sourced). Nothing here is presented as live, monitored, or promised-current. Confirm the current figure with the source before relying on it.
