How much does it really cost to live, work, or travel in ? Here's what to expect for daily expenses and expat living.
When planning a one-week mid-range stay in Chile, a traveler should budget approximately CLP 500,000 to CLP 700,000 ($600–$850 USD) for a comfortable experience. Daily expenses can vary, but here's a glimpse of what you might expect: a meal at a local restaurant may cost around CLP 8,000–CLP 15,000 ($10–$18), a coffee typically ranges from CLP 1,500–CLP 3,000 ($2–$4), while public transport fares hover around CLP 700 ($0.85). For a prepaid SIM card, expect to pay about CLP 15,000 ($18), and budget accommodations like a budget hotel or Airbnb can range from CLP 25,000–CLP 60,000 ($30–$75) per night. Overall, visiting Chile is considered average in terms of costs. When compared to the United States, travelers will find Chile is generally cheaper for dining and public transport, but slightly more costly for accommodations. In comparison to the UK, where eating out can be pricier, Chile offers good value for similar quality of food and experience.
For expats considering a move to Chile, typical monthly living costs can range from CLP 700,000 to CLP 1,200,000 ($850–$1,450), depending on lifestyle and location. Ensure you are familiar with the local banking system; major cities like Santiago have a wide array of bank options, but many expats prefer to use credit or debit cards due to lower fees and convenience. When sending or receiving money, services like Wise or OFX can be smart alternatives compared to traditional banks, as they typically offer lower exchange rates and fees. While exchanging money locally can work for small amounts, for larger transactions, online transfer services often yield better rates, making it a savvy financial choice for expats living in Chile.
