Cost of living in Malta
Let’s face it, it’s hard to avoid the topic of increasing cost of living. Prices are going up, and there’s no shortage of news articles about record inflation. Many are seeing the results of inflation reflected in their receipts from the supermarket. While not immune to the price increases worldwide, you may be relieved to know that Malta has a relatively low cost of living.

Estimate of monthly expenses

According to numbeo.com, the biggest chunk of expenses comes from housing, groceries or household items, and restaurants. The cost of living in Malta will vary depending on your location and lifestyle. For example, rent for a one-bedroom apartment in a nice area averages around €800 – €900 per month. Additionally, groceries are reasonably priced, with basic items such as a loaf of bread costing €1. Finally, dinner for two at a nice mid-range restaurant including a glass of wine can cost approximately €65.

Transportation and utility costs in Malta

Since October 2022, the public bus system is free to use in Malta. One liter of fuel costs around €1.36 at the time of writing, and basic utilities such as electricity, heating, and cooling average €90/month. In all, it’s estimated that one person would spend €1600 on monthly expenses.

Comparison of the cost of living in Malta to other countries

Living in Malta is cheaper compared to Western European countries. For example, expatistan.com says the cost of living in the Maltese capital city of Valletta is 29% cheaper than living in Dublin.

The low-cost living extends beyond personal life. In fact, Malta is very business friendly, and the cost of company formation is quite low. Find more information about company registration in Malta here.
