Cost of living in Spain compared to the UK

Moving to another country is a complex and sometimes painful process. In addition to documents and other arrangements, you need to think about how it will be to live in a new place and, of course, how much it will cost. We are sure, you will be interested to find out housing prices (rent and utilities), insurance, food and other amenities. This article is a complete guide on how much does living in Spain cost, including large cities and islands. We compare the cost of living in Spain with the UK.

Spain's economy ranks 5th in the EU. However, salaries in Spain cannot be called high: according to this indicator, it is located in Europe at the 20th position. If we estimate how much life in Spain costs per month as national average gross salary of around 2000 EUR, then the approximate expenses of a family of 3 with two employees look like this:

Taxes: 30%;
Utility bills: 4-5%;
Food: 10-15%;
Medical insurance - from 1 to 5% depending on the type of policy.

On average it will cost you around 1200 EUR to live in Spain, including all the running expenses, food and rent. While the average net salary in England in 2021 around 2800 EUR/month, they say you will need around 2400 EUR/month per person to live in the UK comfortably.

Let's take a closer look at how much it costs to live and maintain housing in Spain, both on average and in popular cities among expats.

The maintenance of property in Spain is an important aspect that you should pay attention to before buying. Although Spain can hardly be called an expensive country with regard to housing and running costs, they will still make up a considerable part of your monthly spending.

All expenses are divided into two parts. Firstly, fixed payments that will have to be paid even for vacant housing: taxes, insurance, maintenance of the house and the adjoining territory (cleaning, garbage etc.). Secondly, variable payments, depending on the services and the level of consumption: utility bills (water, electricity, gas) and communication (Internet, telephone, television). For example, in old houses a community fee can be 40 EUR per month, and in new large residences – 150 and more!

All in all, the bills depend on the level of energy efficiency of the building, on the prestige of the residential complex and services it offers, on the number of inhabitants and the level of water and electricity consumption. In order not to be unfounded, let's look at examples of the villa and apartment annual running costs in Spain.

The costs of maintaining real estate in Spain can be significant, but they can always be reduced by smart consumption, as well as if you live only in the high season and do not use optional services. You can read more on maintenance costs of Spanish properties here.

The most expensive city in Spain is San Sebastian. The cost of life here is 30% higher than the national average. Next is Madrid, and the top 3 closes Barcelona. The cheapest city in Spain is Ceuta. The cost of living in this city is below the average by 30%. Among the most affordable places on Spain are Teruel and Palencia. Accordingly, prices in these cities differ in the same range. Let's analyze how much it costs to live in the most popular cities and islands of Spain.

The cost of living in Madrid is lower than that in other European capitals, although it is true that in recent years prices have increased significantly.

One of the main expenses you will face when living in Madrid is accommodation. You can choose to rent a whole home, or a room. Until not long ago those who rented rooms in the city were mainly students. However, the demand on rooms is increasing among people of all ages.

Cost of the rent depends on a district of the city. That is why we recommend that before looking for a flat or room for rent in Madrid, you learn about the districts and neighborhoods of the city. Focus on the one that best suits you (proximity to work, etc.) and your financial opportunities.

The cheapest homes, usually studios for one or two, are around 700-800 EUR. If you want to live in exclusive areas, such as Paseo de la Castellana or El Retiro Park, the average price of rent here is between 2,000-4,000 EUR. Of course, you may also go for luxury villas with a price higher than 12,000 EUR per month! As for the rental of the room, in Madrid it costs around 400-600 EUR. You will also have to add the water, electricity and gas bill to the rental expense.

If you are looking for a property to buy, Madrid is the third most expensive place to buy property after Barcelona and San Sebastian. 1 square meter in Madrid costs on average 2852 EUR. Let's have a look at the examples of the property prices in Madrid by neighborhoods.

A foreigner may easily purchase a house or an apartment in Spain or rent a suitable property. Depending on the option, the costs will be different. Let's consider them in more detail. The largest cities, such as Madrid, Barcelona, Vitoria, Seville, San Sebastian and Bilbao, are definitely very comfortable for living, but the cost of renting housing there is much higher than the national average.

Therefore, the Spaniards themselves choose settling in the suburbs of these megacities. Spain has a well-developed public transport system, and the journey from home to office in the city center by train or bus will take about 30 minutes.

Renting an apartment with one bedroom will cost about 450-650 EUR, with two - 600-100. Do not forget that in large cities an apartment of 60-90 square meters may cost more than a thousand euros. The average monthly rental price for the most demanded types of properties is around 700 euros. The room can be rented for 200-450 euros. You should add the cost of utilities: electricity, water, gas and Internet. Please note that for heating you will also have to pay a rather impressive amount: from 50 to 150 EUR per month.

The cost of renting an apartment on average in Spain is 9 euros per square meter of housing. All homeowners in Spain need to consider that under the laws of the country, the tenant is more protected than the landlord. The initial long-term lease agreement is usually drawn up for a period of one year, but the tenant has the right to annually renew the lease term until it is five years. During these five years, rental price can only be raised in accordance with the inflation index.

In order to learn the numbers for rental housing in the Spanish kingdom, we list some examples for the most popular regions among foreigners:

• In Malaga you can rent an apartment with a total area of 85 sq. m. with 1 bathroom and 2 bedrooms for 750 EUR/month.

• In Torrevieja an apartment with a total area of 120 square meters with 4 bedrooms is 400 EUR per week.

• In Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, it is possible to find an apartment with a total area of 80 square meters with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms for 600 EUR per month.

Let's compare average purchase and rental price in Spain:

How much you may spend on a property in Spain? Well, it depends on a chosen coast, your budget and preferences. The most popular, affordable and the warmest one is Costa Blanca. You may learn some prices on a highly demanded Spanish cities from this table:

1) You can easily take a mortgage in Spain (the lowest percentage in Europe!) if you have a stable income.

2) Remember, that housing in Spain is not only a purchase, but also a maintenance. Utility bills and unforeseen expenses can amount to 2,000-5,000 and even 7,000 euros, depending on the location and type of a property. But at least you can always purchase an insurance that covers accidents.

3) The option of "buy and rent out" may work or not, because the competition is high enough - for this we advise you to contact the agency that will rent out your apartment for a fee.

4) Renting for a season or a couple of years is a reasonable choice, but if you plan to reside in Spain, we advise you to consider buying your own home. Especially in case of a new property in big cities or in resort area, where the price significantly rises when the construction is finished so you may obviously profit from it.

When owning the property, one cannot forget about the taxes to pay. There are three main property taxes that you need to consider.

1) Municipal property tax (Impuesto Sobre Bienes Inmuebles or IBI) - from 0.4 to 1.1% of the cadastral value of the property, which is a couple times less than its market price.

2) Personal income tax (Impuesto Sobre la Renta de las Personas Fisicas or IRPF) in case a property is your second home, not the main place of residence. It is 0.48% or 0.265% of inventory. If the cadastral value has changed since 1994 then the lower rate applies.

3) Wealth tax – if your wealth is more than 700,000 EUR you are obliged to pay 0.2 to 2.5% depending on the rates in a region of your residency.

Community fee, known as comunidad, is a popular service in residential complexes.

Owners of apartments with a communal zone (pool, garden, secure parking, common stairwell, basement, yard) will have to pay €1000-2000 per year for the maintenance of the territory in case of a new or luxury residential complexes. For individual houses, this amount depends on the degree of urbanization (garbage collection, security, cleaning of the surrounding area, road lighting) and ranges from € 500 to € 1,500 per year. In elite complexes with developed infrastructure (tennis courts, sauna, gym, restaurant, pool) the annual fee can be several times higher.

The weekly work of the gardener will cost the owner of a private house € 80-200 per month (depending on the size of the plot), cleaning the pool (once a week) - € 50-120 per month; house cleaning - € 7-10 per hour.

If the owner cannot be permanently in Spain, he or she should use the services of a management company. Management companies pay bills, look after the property and clean the common areas. When buying an apartment in a modern complex, it will be easy to find such a company, as they are often created by the developer himself. In Spain, the services of a management company are cheaper than in the rest of Europe. Often the fee is not taken per square meter, but per unit of housing and is € 1 per day (€ 365 annualy).

There are companies that calculate the cost of their services based on the area, but then the cost per square meter decreases depending on the area. Per year, it goes from € 6 to € 15 (an average of € 8.4) per square meter. m. For this amount, management companies provide security and support for the entire complex, including cleaning of common areas (at the same time, it is possible to agree on cleaning a private apartment for extra money).

Home insurance is optional if your property is not purchased with a mortgage from a bank. Depending on what you want to insure, the size of insurance varies. The minimum amount starts from € 80. And the most comprehensive insurance, including possible damage to third parties, costs € 460 per year.

Let's look at the average price of annual running costs for a 2-bedroom apartment in the UK.

If we take into account that in Spain, on average, the maintenance of an apartment costs 3,100 euros, then almost double difference is obvious. By the way, home insurance in England costs an average of 200 to 700 euros per year, which is not significantly more expensive than in Spain.

Renting a studio in England on average costs from 700 to 1600 euros, an apartment / townhouse with two bedrooms is from 1000 to 3000 euros, and an apartment, house or townhouse with three bedrooms will cost you from 1200 to 5000 euros. The price range is very wide, as the cost of living in London, and for example in Birmingham, is significantly different. In London or Manchester, it would definitely be on an expensive side.

We have already discussed the cost of maintaining housing, and now let's look at other important expenditures, the costs of which may surprise you, hopefully in a good way.

Despite the fact that there is more than one car in every family in Spain, transportation costs here include not only the cost of gasoline (about € 1.1-1.3 per 1 liter) and the maintenance of the car, but also the cost of public transport.

A bus ride costs € 1.4. You can save money by buying a travel card that is valid for month. It will cost you € 45-55. The advantage of using it is that transfers from route to route within an hour and a half are not considered separate trips. In cities where there is a metro, a pass allows you to use both the metro and ground public transport (buses, trams, some funiculars and even the railway within the city).

If you want to travel, for example, from Barcelona to Valencia or Madrid by train, then such a trip can cost €50-€ 80 per person. (The closer to the voyage date, the higher the cost, sale of tickets starts 60 days before).

If traveling long distances with family, the Spaniards prefer to use a car - it is more affordable. By the way, personal car insurance will cost you about € 400-500 per year, and tax is € 100-150 annually.

Of course, we all have our own ideas about what it means to be "expensive" or "cheap". Someone eats only in restaurants, and someone visit them only on special occasions; someone spends €30 a week on food per person, while others spend hundreds. Let's have a look at average prices for food in Spanish supermarkets.

Locals prefer to buy vegetables and fruits in food markets, because the choice is wider and the price is lover, while other products they usually purchase in supermarkets by their homes.

As for the restaurants, the average cost of a meal plus drinks varies from €12 to 50 per person, depending on the category of a place and a menu. The price is also influenced by the location of the restaurant. For example, if you decide to have lunch in the tourist center of Barcelona or Valencia, you are likely to spend more than €15 per person, even just for a piece of pizza and a glass of beer.

If you step off tourist zones, you may find a three-course lunch for less than €15. There are buffets where you can eat anything you want for €15-20.

Eating in fast food is much cheaper: € 4 for a local paella in a cafe; about € 8 for a lunch in American fast-food place.

Depending on your preferences, food costs can range from €200 to several hundred euros per month. Of course, cooking for a family significantly reduces the cost of food per person, while frequent visits to restaurants can increase the total spending significantly.

Concerning the primary and secondary education, there are 3 types of school in Spain: state, private and Catholic. In private or international schools, they teach in English following the British programs (or others, for example, Montessori). It is believed that after graduating from such an institution it will not be difficult for a child to enter prestigious universities around the world. The cost of studies there is from 500 to 1000 EUR per month. It happens more, but as an exception. The amount includes the whole range of "services" - sports, elective courses, meals, transport, etc.

Most children in Spain attend public schools which are free of charge. In some municipal schools, parents only pay for books, depending on the age of the child, it may vary from 100 to 350 EUR per year.

Catholic schools devote a lot of time to religion. Unlike public and private, Catholic schools not only teach, but also discipline children.

Studying in Spanish universities is rather economically profitable, especially comparing to the UK. In spite of everything, the public university remains in general a much cheaper option than the private universities. Depending on a level of university, the cost of studying at a state university is from 1,000 euros per year, in private the cost varies from 7,000 to 22,000 euros per year. The possibility of obtaining a scholarship or study aid must also be taken into account. The price for MBA program is from 7,000 to 40,000 euros. You will also have to take into account the cost of the books; every September you will spend about 500 EUR in the bookstore.

Medical insurance in another one among the mandatory expenses. In Spain, if a person is officially registered at the place of residence, he or she is entitled to free medical care. But not all services can be obtained free of charge, and the length of the appointment queue is sometimes is very long: the wait time with insurance is rather short.

Health insurance can cost between €30-80 per month, depending on your needs and age. But the visit to a doctor, if you do not have insurance and there or right to free medical care, may cost you around €100-300.

Who are entitled to free medical care in state medical hospitals?

• Spanish citizens

• Citizens of the EU (European Health Insurance Card) or citizens of countries with which Spain has certain agreements. Citizens of Switzerland, Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein, according to the agreement, are entitled to free medical care in Spain in case of illness or in case of accident. Residents of countries such as Andorra, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Peru and Paraguay, through a bilateral agreement with Spain, are also entitled to free emergency medical services or reimbursement of expenses.

• Those who have a travel insurance or an international insurance valid in Spain;

• In emergency cases, children under 18 years and pregnant women (Ley Orgánica 4/2000). According to the law, minor foreigners, as well as women during pregnancy, childbirth and the postpartum period, are entitled to emergency medical care, regardless of their legal status in Spain.

Tourists who come from other countries, in case of lack of any documents allowing to receive free medical services in Spain, will have to contact private or state medical centers on a paid basis, even in case of emergency.

The expenses of childcare centers are rather expensive. Based on the cost published by the Autonomous Communities for nurseries, the monthly fee is between 350-400 EUR for a couple who does not have another alternative to care for the baby during working hours. In public nurseries the rates are different in each case. They are calculated based on income and family situation. Most pay a monthly fee that includes full-time and dining. In this sense, in the Community of Madrid prices range between €60 for the lowest income and €200 for the highest income. Usually, nurseries are available for babies from 3 months to 3 years. Maternity leave in Spain is up to 4 months, so it is quite common to leave toddlers in a nursery after returning to work.

Those, who are 3-6 years, may go to infant schools or kindergartens in Spain. They cost around 200-600 EUR. Though pre-school is not a compulsory, almost everyone attends them.

The cost of living in the United Kingdom is generally much higher than in Spain. However, this difference mainly affects tourists visiting this country or the unemployed, since the average salary in the UK is almost 60% higher if compare to Spain. For clarity, we analyzed and compared the cost of food, real estate and other expenses in Spain and England. Prices are in euro.

Most of the students choose state universities in Spain.

The shopping cart and restaurant visit is generally much more expensive in Britain. Consumer prices in the UK are on average 30% higher than in Spain, whereas restaurants in Spain are 40% more affordable. The UK prices are expected to rise on at least 10% due to BREXIT.

Public transport is half more expensive in the United Kingdom than in Spain. Spain holds the second place after Italy in Europe in terms of the most affordable fare - an average of 45 euros per monthly pass. Unfortunately, the price of one kilometer in taxi is on average twice as higher as in Spain. All in all, cost of living in Spain is 20-30% cheaper than in UK, depending on a city, and a rent price is on average 30-40% lower.

The rent of a type apartment of up to two rooms, located in the center of a city, moves in fairly standard scales, around 650 EUR. For its part, the United Kingdom is the least affordable option if you look at its real estate market. The country is the most expensive if you want to rent an apartment: a month's rent with bills is over 1000 EUR. The cost of monthly utilities in Spain is among the cheapest in Europe.

If you add year-round sunny weather, warm sea to affordable prices in Spain, the UK does not withstand this competition! That is why Spain is still the number 1 destination for British retirees. We definitely recommend you visiting Spain and experience its leisurely lifestyle.
