How much does it cost to live in Cambodia for a year?

Annualised from CostLiving’s tiers: roughly $8,280 for a year at the budget tier ($690 a month), $13,800 at the moderate tier ($1,150), and $21,420 living comfortably ($1,785). Base yourself in Phnom Penh specifically and the moderate year runs closer to $18,000 ($1,500 a month). The annual frame surfaces costs that monthly snapshots hide, and Cambodia has three worth budgeting explicitly. Visa renewals: the long-stay route is cheap by regional standards but still a recurring line every year. Health cover: private insurance with medical-evacuation cover to Bangkok is the sensible baseline, since Cambodian hospitals handle routine care well and serious cases poorly. And the hot-season energy spike: running air conditioning through March to May pushes utility bills up noticeably, enough to feel it at the budget tier. A single person on $15,000 a year lives a proper moderate life with all three covered. A couple should plan around $22,000 to $24,000 rather than double.
