Cost of Living Calculator

The "can we actually afford this" spreadsheet, pre-built.

What it does: Compares your current monthly costs against typical estimates for several Spanish regions — Costa del Sol, Madrid, Barcelona, Galicia and more — across rent, groceries, utilities, transport, and leisure.

Why you'll use it: Most cost-of-living comparisons online are written for tourists, not people deciding whether to actually move their life. This one's built for the second group, and it's editable the moment your own research disagrees with our defaults.

Worth knowing: regional figures are indicative averages, not real-time data — always validate against current local listings for your specific town.
