Expatistan is an extremely interesting source of information which is constantly being corrected and updated, and where visitors to the site can actively participate by providing fresh data. The list of cities shows the current cost of living in the major cities of the world, with those the most expensive ones marked in red, and the most affordable ones in green.
You can find out the difference between the cost of living in a city you are interested in and the reference value of 100, which is designated for Prague as a reference point. Cost of living index for every other city is determined by comparing the local costs with the costs of living in Prague. So, if a city has an index of 134, that means that the cost of living is 34 percent higher than in Prague.
