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 the Philippines, travelers should budget around 25,000 to 35,000 PHP (approximately $440 to $615 USD). This amount can provide a comfortable experience, factoring in meals, accommodations, transportation, and activities. Here’s a rough breakdown of typical daily expenses:
In general, the Philippines is considered an affordable travel destination compared to the United States, where a similar mid-range experience would often cost 30% more. Compared to the UK, the cost of living in the Philippines is significantly lower as well. Travelers will find that their money stretches further here, allowing for a richer experience without breaking the bank.
For expats moving to the Philippines, typical monthly living costs can range from 30,000 to 60,000 PHP ($530 to $1,060 USD), depending on lifestyle choices and location. This estimate covers rent, utilities, food, and transportation. In major urban areas like Manila or Cebu, you may encounter higher costs, while rural areas offer significantly cheaper living.
When it comes to managing your finances, using a combination of local banking and card usage is advisable. Many banks offer services specifically catering to expats, and using international cards like Visa and Mastercard is common. However, be wary of ATM fees. For sending and receiving money, online transfer services such as Wise or OFX often provide better exchange rates and lower fees compared to traditional banks or currency exchange services. In highly touristy areas, you may get slightly better rates by exchanging money locally, but it’s generally safer and more efficient to use an online transfer service to avoid fluctuating rates and additional fees.
