Cost of Living Survey

If you're living in China—or considering it—and looking for answers to questions about cost of living, this survey aims to collect real experiences and insights from expats like you.

This survey aims to create a snapshot of life for expats across China, helping others make informed decisions about moving cities, negotiating contracts, or planning their finances. Your privacy matters—feel free to use a nickname, skip questions, or provide rough estimates instead of exact figures.

The survey is a bit long, so we truly appreciate your time. Thank you for helping others navigate life in China!
