The cost of living in Luxembourg: what singles and families spend in 2026
Luxembourg ranks among Europe's most expensive countries, driven overwhelmingly by housing. A one-bedroom flat in Luxembourg City rents for roughly €1,966 a month (Numbeo, May 2026). A single person can expect about €2,700-3,300 a month including rent; a family needs more. Free public transport, high salaries and an indexed minimum wage of €2,703.74 gross partly offset the cost. This explainer breaks down rent, groceries, transport, childcare and health.
