Tokyo is the costliest city in the world in which to live.
Tokyo is the most expensive city in the world in which to live out of 282 global locations surveyed. While Tokyo is relatively cheap for items such as alcohol & tobacco (ranked 173), it is the most expensive for groceries and healthcare, and second only to Hong Kong for household accommodation costs. Whilst Tokyo has always been relatively expensive, this trend has been strengthened again recently, as a result of the Japanese Yen which has gained in value by about 18% against the United States Dollar in the past two years.
As the most expensive city in the world, Tokyo has an overall cost of living index of 153.2 (New York = 100), while Dubai (ranked 131 in the world) has a cost of living index of 82.15. Therefore Tokyo’s cost of living is 86% higher than Dubai. That means that an expatriate earning USD$5,000 per month in Dubai would need to earn USD$9,300 per month in Tokyo to enable them to have the same purchasing power, and therefore a similar standard of living as they had in Dubai. The cost of living for an expatriate is affected by both the availability and prices, of goods and services representative of an expatriate lifestyle, local inflation, and the exchange rate between the home and host country. As a result the cost of living has a significant impact of an expatriate’s salary package.
Hong Kong is the second most expensive city in the world for expatriates to live in. The high overall cost of living rank for Hong Kong is primarily a result of two expensive basket groups. Hong Kong is the second most expensive city in the world for healthcare, and is the most expensive city in the world for household accommodation which typically comprises 30% of an expatriate’s expenses. Hong Kong is a good example of why many international organizations compensate separately for healthcare as well as household related costs such as housing rental, water, electricity, household gas, household fuels, local rates and residential taxes. Items that are provided by the employer should be excluded from a cost of living index calculation. The cost of living index for Hong Kong excluding healthcare and household related costs is substantially lower than it’s overall cost of living index of 127.87 (New York = 100).
Hong Kong is relatively cheap for recreation & culture (ranked 236 in the world), education (ranked 244 in the world), as well as furniture & appliances (ranked 263 in the world).
Geneva is the third most expensive city in the world, with a cost of living index of 124.49 (New York = 100), mainly as a result of being relatively expensive in most of the basket groups with the exceptions being alcohol & tobacco (ranked 194 in the world), education (ranked 167 in the world), and communication (ranked 108 in the world), but also due to the 16% strengthening of the Swiss Franc against the Euro over the past 2 years.
Brasilia is the fourth most expensive city in the world. The Brazilian Real has strengthened by 11% against the United States Dollar in the past year, although it is still weaker than it was two years ago. Brasilia is ranked in the top 60 most expensive cities in the world for each of the 13 basket groups.
Oslo is the fifth most expensive city in the world with a cost of living index of 122.05 (New York = 100). The Norwegian Kroner has strengthened by 16% against the Euro in the past year. Oslo is the most expensive city in the world for transport, and the second most expensive city for alcohol & tobacco. Oslo is also expensive for groceries as well as restaurants, meals out and hotels (ranked 5 in the world).

Salary Purchasing Power Parity
Internationally comparable cost of living data is crucial to forming sustainable expatriate pay policies and monitoring progress. Market exchange rates give misleading comparisons because they do not reflect salary purchasing power differences. Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) accounts for price differences between countries and so measures real quantities.
The purpose of an expatriate pay program is to maintain employee spending power and standard of living irrespective of global location. Salary Purchasing Power Parity (SPPP) is the amount of salary that equalizes the purchasing power of different currencies given the relative cost of the same basket of goods (cost of living) at the exchange rate versus one US Dollar. This means that a given salary, when converted into different currencies at the SPPP rates, will buy the same basket of goods and services in all countries.
Currency exchange rates are highly volatile as they are based on short-term factors and are subject to substantial distortions from speculative movements, economic outlook and government interventions. Currency exchange rates, on their own, do not in our view reflect cost of living changes in the short-term. Exchange rates, even when averaged over a period of time such as a year, are not a good measure of the comparative value of a salary in relation to its comparative international purchasing power. In the short to medium term at least, apparent changes in the comparative level of remuneration between one country and another may be principally a function of changes in the exchange rate as opposed to cost of living.
The basket of goods and services used in SPPP calculations is derived on an International basis and includes certain items often excluded from expatriate cost of living data (most notably housing costs), however any or all of the 13 basket groups can be included or excluded from a calculation. SPPP's provide a reasonably good picture of the differences in standards of living for individual’s resident and paid in different countries.
