Cost of Living in Finland

"The cost of living in Finland is generally considered to be quite high. Prices for basic necessities such as food, housing, and transportation are all relatively expensive. However, Finland also has a high standard of living, with excellent public services and a strong economy. Additionally, Finland has a relatively low rate of taxation, which helps to offset the cost of living," said one expat in Finland.

"Living in Finland may be more affordable than living in the United States in some areas. The cost of living in Finland is generally lower than in the United States, with lower prices for food, housing, and transportation. Additionally, Finland offers free healthcare and education, which can help to reduce overall living costs. However, Finland also has higher taxes than the United States, so it is important to consider all of these factors when deciding whether living in Finland will save you money," explained one expat living in Finland.

"Lower rent but as I said it's subsidised. When we leave here it will be much the same as in the UK. They have a genius system that recycles hot water from power stations which helps stop the energy bills getting ridiculous," explained one expat.

"The average cost of housing in Finland is generally quite high, with prices varying depending on the location and type of property. Generally, the cost of renting a one-bedroom apartment in a city centre can range from around €800 to €1,500 per month, while the cost of buying a property can range from €2,000 to €4,000 per square metre," said one person in Finland.

"The rental price for a nice 1 bedroom apartment in Finland can vary depending on the location, but generally ranges from around $1,000 to $1,500 per month. For a nice 2 bedroom apartment, the rental price can range from around $1,500 to $2,000 per month," remarked one expat living in Finland.

"Rental properties in Finland typically include a refrigerator, stove, oven, dishwasher, washing machine, and dryer. Some properties may also include a microwave, toaster, and other small kitchen appliances. Furniture may also be included, depending on the property," said one expat.
