In Norway, the cost of living can be quite high. According to data, a single person's monthly expenses—excluding rent—are estimated to be around €1,100 (NOK 12,981). This estimate covers typical costs such as groceries, transportation, utilities, and other personal expenses.
When it comes to housing, rent varies significantly based on location. For a one-bedroom apartment, the rent is about €812 (NOK 9,570) if located outside the city center. However, if you choose to live in the city center, the rent increases to approximately €1,112 (NOK 13,106).
For families, the cost of living is naturally higher and depends on several factors, including the number of family members, the size and type of the apartment, and its location. Larger apartments or those situated in desirable areas like city centers will typically cost more. Additionally, families may face higher expenses for utilities, groceries, and transportation, which can add to their overall monthly budget.
