Dubai Cost of Living Estimator
Get a rough estimate of monthly living costs in Dubai — rent, utilities, food and transport — based on your lifestyle and household size. A single person renting a 1-bedroom apartment outside the city centre, eating out occasionally and commuting by metro, typically lands somewhere around AED 6,000-8,000 a month — a family of four with a larger apartment and a car easily doubles or triples that figure.
