Cost of living in Argentina, Latin America

How much money do you need to live comfortably in Argentina?

Country Latin America Updated July 2026

CostLiving’s comfortable benchmark for Argentina is $2,595 per person per month. That buys a one-bed in a good neighbourhood, a mix of restaurant meals and quality groceries, private healthcare cover, and regular entertainment without watching the meter. The moderate tier, a solid but more deliberate version of the same life, runs $1,675 a month, with housing around $496 and food around $380 of that. Where you live changes the answer more than how you live: Buenos Aires runs $2,025 a month at the moderate tier, so “comfortable” in the capital costs roughly what “comfortable plus savings” costs in Rosario or Córdoba. Most expats earning foreign salaries find the comfortable tier very reachable, which is a big part of Argentina’s pull for remote workers. Compare all three tiers on our Argentina cost of living page.
