The cost of living crisis is back in the news. What better time to release the brand new Your Overseas Home Cost of Living Index for 2026? It answers:
- Where is the cheapest place to live from the Your Overseas Home countries?
- Will your pension go further in Spain or France?
- Is your salary more likely to last to the end of the month in Dubai or Portugal?
- Will your standard of living be better in the USA, Canada, Australia or New Zealand
The 2026 Your Overseas Home Cost of Living Index is different. It focuses on expenses you’ll face when setting up home and living overseas. Everything from decorating your house to fitting it out, to getting the groceries in to eating out. It covers the weekly shop and the electricity bill, pet owning, healthcare and traveling around.
Join Your Overseas Home editor Christopher Nye who will be going through the results with Abbie Young.
Each year we update our ‘shopping basket’ with what our readers are spending their money on. For 2026 that includes fitness activities, weight loss drugs, dog grooming and many others.
Alongside the results Chris and Abbie will be giving their own tips for making your life more financially secure overseas.
Plus, there will be plenty of time for your own questions too.
2026 Your Overseas Home Cost of Living Index covers Spain, France, Italy, Greece, Portugal, Cyprus, the USA, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and the UK.
