What is the Cost of Living Index? 

To calculate each city's Price Index value, Expatistan starts by assigning a value of 100 to a central reference city, which is actually Prague. Once the reference point has been established, the Price Index value of every other city in the database is calculated by comparing their cost of living to the cost of living in Prague.

Therefore, if a city has a Price Index of 134, that means that living there is 34% more expensive than living in Prague.

The colour of each marker corresponds with the Cost of Living in the city. Red markers show more expensive cities, green ones show cheaper cities.

Moving the mouse on top of a city will show its name and the Cost of Living Index of that city.
