EXPAT Cost of Living in MAURITIUS 2024

Visited Mauritius for the first time staying in the North exploring the rest of the island. Thank you for being the most accurate no-nonsense KZbinr covering Mauritius. You gave me the confidence I needed to visit and plan to move

[@LucyLeheilleix]

Glad you enjoyed the island. Thanks very much for the nice comment!

[@audiomotion1]

I agree with you. It is very expensive to live in Mauritius. It is believed that ex pats have caused prices to inflate sky high. I was from Mauritius and now lives in the UK. I find it too expensive when compared to prices in the UJ.

[@Boyanadee]

Well expats are just being charged higher prices. Example: Mauritian husband buys an icecream on the beach for Rs 50. Next day caucasian wife attempts to buy from the same place- Rs 250. It’s called white tax 😂

[@PsychicZya]

it's not expats it is ALWAYS LOCALS...we have to stop blaming foreigners for the GREED of others

[@qswedasf]

My take after being here a few years Not on the beach or couple of streets of housing back, 50k-60k, for the north is realistic atm for a decent place - you should also not just take first price advertised since most relator mark the price up initial and then it becomes negotiable. In our friend group, outside of estates or res, everyone pays less than 60k but been here a few years already so don't really pay the "school fees" anymore. Inside estate/res will highly depend on the luxury you are after. We have friends paying 80k on the beach in a res (Pointe Aux Canonniers) or 160k in a fancy res in Grand Baie. If you are after modern/new places in res then yes 70k - xxx, but then it becomes a lifestyle choice rather vs a need. Food budget can be so varied. If you just buy what you want and don't do a bit of price shopping it can easily inflate. Especially if you don't adapt a bit to other import brands. Also depends on splurging and safe to say the amount of red / expensive meats. For 2, we are on 25k for household groceries including a fairly decent amount of import red meat. Do buy bulk when we can. Excludes eating out, alcohol. Note, we don't really buy things like sweets and cooldrinks or any "luxuries" - good veg and good meat and then local staples. Electricity for us is 2-6k a depending on season with aircon each night and only AC during the day if absolutely needed (Dec/Jan - Mar/April) - 2 people Water is has never been over 100Rs including pool and regular garden watering. 500Rs seems extremely excessive - not sure if its maybe targeted pricing... 100% Agree, car cash is best idea. Entertainment fees varies greatly depending on what you do in your spare time we average around 40k for going out, paddel, boat trip, hair, yoga etc. 2 people.

[@LucyLeheilleix]

Great comment. Thanks 🙏 Our saving grace here is the tax, otherwise we would be living in the South of France where schooling would be free. Take care 😀

[@globoliver9697]

@@LucyLeheilleix You do say it ^^ - the income tax advantage is, depending on one's lifestyle, "compensated" by the huge import taxes on goods, e. g. a bottle of South African wine (basic, but good) costs three times as much as in Germany, and by other "hidden" taxes possibly, e. g. the househould insurance (about 70 € monthly) is insanely expensive.

[@karlhoward2737]

Cost of living in India for a single person including rent in a small city with good medical facilities is just INR 20,000 Per month that's about MUR 10,000 per month. For a family of 4 it is about MUR 30,000 per month including house rent and school fees for 2 children.

[@Ingo-f3y]

What I really dont understand is the fact that the only the prices from a western styled supermarket are compared. Go to a market where the locals buy and you will get everything much cheaper. For example Tomatos for 50 Rupies/kg, what is 1 Euro, red meat is much cheaper, Chicken as well. so if you look a bit it is no problem to have the same for less than in a supermarket.

[@LucyLeheilleix]

For sure, but the fact is this is aimed at expats and this video was about the cost of living, not only food….

[@Ingo-f3y]

At the end Mauritius is about 33 % cheaper than western countries or Australia, Basuc food is cheaper, cooking gas, energy, Water is much cheaper, cars are about the same or much cheaper (pick up), rent is about the same., taxes are much better.

[@BigSlimyBlob]

Fascinating. While the prices seem to be mostly aimed at a family of four with particularly big spending habits, probably living in an expensive area, there is useful data in there. Some of those things are surprisingly cheap. But as a lone, low spender (I live on 11k USD a year in Canada) it's a bit difficult to gauge how much less I'd be paying for things.

WOW!!! It is between 50% and 100% cheaper than the US. And why do you need AC at night when it is in the 70S Farenheit? Maybe a dehumidifier at most. Anyway, it is still supper cheap. Electricity is 3 to 5 times more expensive in the US. I can not even imagine in Europe.

[@kesh4781]

A Rs 10K electricity bill seems quite exorbitant; I estimate it corresponds to about 1100 kWh per month with CEB's tariff. Such consumption definitely exceeds the average Mauritian's carbon footprint.

[@LucyLeheilleix]

You’re correct. The tariff also goes up when you reach a certain amount in terms of consumption. It all depends on how much Aircon you use, if you have a swimming pool and whether you run your business from home etc. Like I said, everyone has different lifestyles and salaries. This topic is not a one size fits all.

[@EnricoGalli-b3o]

Wow, that cost of food is really expencive, rent is similar or slightly more than Europe, but ivam shocked at the food price!

[@waynelovember4187]

Great video Lucy. Your costs are quite accurate. My wife and daughter and I have been living in Mauritius since March 2023, living in Flic en Flac. And I would say that your take home pay needs to be at least MUR 150,000 per month to live comfortably in the West.

[@LucyLeheilleix]

Thanks for the comment. For a family of 4 I would say you need to add another 100k to that 😮The low tax is perhaps this islands saving grace 🫣

[@waynelovember4187]

@LucyLeheilleix I agree about the tax rates. For me personally that is the only saving grace, otherwise it would just be too expensive to live here.

[@globoliver9697]

Yes, that seems to be the striking reality. Considering the GDP per capita tables, you'll see that the UK is roughly at 5 times Mauritius (without PPP) and 2 times Mauritius (with PPP) - thus, the cost of living should be anywhere between one half and one fifth of that in the UK. Now, how many families in the UK have got 2,500 GBP for 3 or 4,300 GBP for 4 at their disposal (except London with its massive rents, possibly)?

[@balakrishnachinniah3568]

Mauritius is not expensive if you know what and where to buy. How locals are living? Electricity with a family of 4, costs Rs 2000 (that's include two Tvs and 2 aircons running at night) Rs 10K is exagerating, not sure what they are doing at night. Water bill costs rs 300....
