Methodology

This year’s ranking methodology encompassed 226 cities across five continents. It assessed the comparative costs of over 200 items in each location — from housing and transportation to food, clothing, household goods and entertainment. To ensure consistency in city-ranking comparisons, New York City was utilized as the base city and currency movements were measured against the US dollar. The figures utilized in our cost comparisons stem from a survey conducted in March 2024, encompassing over 400 cities. Exchange rates from that time, coupled with data from Mercer’s international basket of goods and services (used in its Cost of Living Survey), were employed for calculations and baselines.  The comprehensive data Mercer collected — and the ranking this data generated — offer a vital tool for employers. These provide the essential information needed to design efficient and transparent compensation packages for international assignees.
