Using the latest data from Numbeo's Cost of Living Index, we've identified the countries with the highest cost of living. The index scores are relative percentages of the cost of living compared to New York City, which has an index score of 100. This means that countries scoring below 100 are cheaper to live in than The Big Apple, while countries scoring above 100 are more expensive.
