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 mid-range stay in Singapore, a budget of approximately SGD 1,500 to SGD 2,000 (around USD 1,120 to USD 1,490) for one week should suffice for a comfortable experience. Singapore is known for its blend of luxury and tourist-friendly offerings, making it vital to plan your expenses judiciously. Typically, daily costs incurred might include:
In comparison to the United States, where dining and lodging can be similarly priced but vary greatly by region, Singapore tends to be more expensive, especially when it comes to accommodations and transport. A trip would likely be on the pricier side relative to Australia, where hotel rates are often lower in regional cities, although major city expenses can rival Singapore.
For expats settling in Singapore, the cost of living can be significant, with typical monthly expenses estimated at around SGD 3,500 to SGD 5,000. This amount includes rent for a one-bedroom apartment in the city center (SGD 2,500 - 3,500), utilities, food, and transportation. When managing finances, it’s advisable to leverage banking and card services carefully—Visa and Mastercard are widely accepted, but some smaller vendors may only take cash or certain cards.
When sending or receiving money, options such as online transfer services like Wise or OFX often provide competitive rates and lower fees compared to traditional banking methods. Exchanging money locally can also be effective, but ensure to check rates frequently as they can fluctuate. For expats dealing with multiple currencies, using online services might often yield a better rate and fewer hassles than exchanging cash at the local establishments, especially in a fast-paced economy like Singapore's.
