Please note that variances exist within each country, particularly with regard to salary; therefore, estimates are based on teaching in major cities. For countries in which housing is included for teachers, such a South Korea, those expenses are not included in cost of living estimates. Information was updated April 2017.
*Housing costs not included in cost of living for this country, since housing is provided.
