What categories are included in the cost of living calculator?

Housing: The largest expense for most Americans is housing, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics 2021 report. The main costs are monthly mortgage or rental payments, but you may also want to consider maintenance or renovation costs as a part of your monthly housing costs.

Groceries: The cost of groceries include produce, dry goods, and other essential household items like shampoo and toothpaste. Depending on the size of your household and preferred products, the average cost of groceries per month will vary.

Utilities: Utilities are a consistent monthly expense to consider when building your budget. Depending on your living situation and location, the average cost of utilities will vary. Typical utility costs include internet, electricity, water, sewer, and gas. Depending on where you live and the services provided, you may also want to consider garbage, recycling, and yard waste pickup as part of your utility cost.

Transportation: The cost of transportation is something to consider when deciding where to live. Choosing public transit when available will lower these costs, however, public transit may not be readily available in your area. Typical transportation costs include the price of gasoline and regular vehicle maintenance.

Healthcare: Healthcare costs typically consist of expenses like medical prescriptions, doctor visits, and other health related services. Healthcare costs will vary greatly by person and depend on your personal health, the type of health insurance you have and associated premiums, and even by location.

Lifestyle: Lifestyle expenses include costs beyond necessities like food and housing. Expenses in this category give you a chance to compare the price of non-essentials, like a yoga class, haircut, or your morning latte, among others.
