Estimated household costs, individual costs

The Consumer Agency annually calculates some of the most common household costs that together account for about one third of the total household costs. The calculations cover both individual and household common costs and are based on a basic need for goods and services needed to cope with everyday life, regardless of household income. Here are the individual monthly costs, broken down into groups: clothing and shoes, leisure, mobile phone, personal hygiene, child and youth insurance and children’s equipment. The calculations are also broken down by age and gender.
