How much does it really cost to live, work, or travel in ? Here's what to expect for daily expenses and expat living.
For travelers planning a one-week mid-range stay in South Korea, it's a good idea to budget around ₩1,200,000 to ₩1,500,000 (approximately $900 to $1,100 USD). This amount will cover accommodation, meals, transportation, and activities. Here’s a snapshot of typical daily expenses:

However, when juxtaposed with Australia, costs can be quite competitive, often being a bit cheaper in South Korea, especially for public transport and casual dining options.
Expats looking to establish a comfortable living in South Korea can expect monthly expenses to range between ₩2,000,000 to ₩2,500,000 ($1,500 to $1,900 USD), depending on lifestyle choices. This budget typically includes rent, utilities, food, and transportation. It’s advisable to use local banks for daily transactions, as they generally offer lower fees compared to international banks. Many locals utilize mobile payment solutions, so having a local bank account linked to an app can make routine expenses more convenient.
When it comes to exchanging money, using local banks or ATMs to withdraw cash typically provides better exchange rates than currency exchange booths found in tourist areas. However, for larger transfers, online services like Wise and OFX can be advantageous, often offering lower fees and better rates compared to traditional banking methods. It’s wise to compare options based on the amounts you intend to transfer to ensure you’re getting the best deal.
