How much money do you need to live in Fiji?

A single person needs roughly $1,425 a month to live comfortably in Fiji, the CostLiving moderate benchmark covering rent, groceries, utilities, transport, and modest discretionary spending. In Suva or Nadi, this covers a one-bedroom in a safe neighbourhood at around $450 a month, plus reasonable food, transport, and entertainment. For a couple, $2,250 to $2,950 a month covers a comfortable two-person budget. Visitors should expect to spend 30 to 60 percent more than locals on day-to-day items because resort and tourist-facing pricing is meaningfully higher. Fiji’s moderate cost sits well below New Zealand ($3,175) and Australia ($3,125), and is roughly 40 percent of the US average ($3,525). For the full breakdown, see our Fiji cost of living page.
