Hi All,

I'm planning to move Melbourne, in November.
I wonder how much will be the cost for a single person in Melbourne.
I don't expect to do extravagant things.

How much will it cost for the below?

Rent (Single studio apartment)
Food
Public transport
Electricity
Water
Gas
Broadband internet

Your inputs are highly appreciated..:)

Hi

Price may differ depending on the location but I can give you a rough idea,

Rent - AUD 800 to 1000 for a studio apartment, again depends on the location.
Food - AUD 10 to 15 per meal if eating outside, cooking at home is cheaper.
Public transport - It is good but comes with a cost....i can't give you an exact number but price wise it is reasonable.
Electricity - AUD 250 to 350 per quarter
Gas - I run electric gas so no idea on this one.
Broadband - I pay AUD 80 per month for a 20 Mbps internet connection and a phone lines which has unlimited calling to few countries including India.

Cheers
Amit
