How you find New Zealand's cost of living will really depend on where you're coming from, where you're looking to settle, and what your income will be. When people first arrive in New Zealand they sometimes find that the cost of living is higher than they expected so it's always a good idea to research prices and incomes to work out what sort of lifestyle you could afford here.
If you're thinking about relocating to New Zealand, then it's a good idea to look into the prices of food, clothing, transport, accommodation, utilities and leisure. You can see in the Weekly Family Budget table on this page how the average New Zealand family divides their expenses, but the prices you'll pay for goods and services will vary greatly depending on which region you decide to settle in. If you'd like to see a breakdown of average prices for different regions across the country, we recommend using the link below:

One of the first things you should do before considering a job in another country is research market salary rates to get an idea of how much money you can expect to make.
What you might find is that salaries for some professionals may be below equivalent roles in Europe and the USA, but it's also worth considering other employment benefits - an example being that all employees are entitled to at least 20 days paid holiday leave, along with an extra 11 days worth of paid public holidays, which is a lot higher than most countries.
To find out roughly what you could expect to earn in your profession, we recommend the Salary Guide below:
New Zealand has a 'Goods and Services' tax (GST), which is a tax on most things you buy and most services that you pay for. This tax currently sits at a rate of 15%.
Usually this will already be part of the advertised price, but it's worth noting that GST doesn't apply to the cost of accommodation or financial transactions like bank charges or income.
Whether you'll be looking to rent or own a home, you'll need to factor accommodation costs into our annual budget. This cost will vary dramatically depending on the'type of accommodation and the region where you're looking to settle but as a general rule, the bigger the city and closer you are to its centre, the more you can expect to spend on housing.
