Cost of Living in Edinburgh

Of course that with 5k you can live a comfortable life (everywhere in Europe I would say!), but it’s not a common salary. With a net salary of 2.2k, that’s the average net here on numbeo and that’s the real average for what I can see, it’s really hard to live. You can do it, but other than paying rent/bills/taxes/groceries you cannot save more than 200£ for other activities - I’ve not considered the price for using and paying for a car. In fact, as part of the aforementioned expenses, you have to consider also the council taxes that are not mentioned here (up to 200£/month depending on the area). Inflation is incredibly high at the moment, and the housing market is insane. It is nearly impossible to find a flat for rent, I would say surprisingly considering the prices. Just to give you an idea, now that I’m leaving my small 1 bedroom flat it will be rented at 950£ in a area that is 1 hour walk distance from the city centre. The announce for the flat was up for a few hours on their website and the day after there were 20 people viewing it.

Hi,can someone help me with Information about City Pass for 3 or 6 day în Edinburg and also all Information for my trip în this Town for 7 day în August!
Thank you!!!

Caleb, if you want to live a comfortable life I'd imagine something around £4k net income per month for a household would do.

I think it's doable with £3k as well, though you'd need to be quite careful with spending.

£5k would be really comfortable though. Ofcourse it all depends on the lifestyle in the end.

Dear Guys
I live in the centre of Edinburgh. I'm 44 and pathetic. Let me know if you want: 07754 953333

For Edinburgh, I wouldn’t say it’s more expensive than London, you just need to know where to go. The independent bars can serve you a good pint for under £3 still without having to venture into a Spoons or Nicholson’s.

Similarly food wise, you can’t go wrong with Wings, hidden down a side ally on the Royal mile.
