Cost of Living in Poland
Price Index: 64 (US = 100) — 36% cheaper than the US
The Cost of Living Score of 75/100 is perhaps Poland's most defining feature for potential expats, with a price level at 53% relative to the US. This metric fundamentally alters financial planning, stretching incomes significantly further than in many Western economies. Even with a median annual salary of $29,932 USD, daily expenses, from housing to groceries, remain remarkably manageable.
