Cost Of Living in Togo in 2023

The cost of living in Togo has been on the rise in recent years. Housing costs in major cities like Lome are quite high, with the average monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment being around 45$ – 505$. Food prices have also increased, with a standard basket of groceries for a family of four now costing about 700$ per month. Transportation can take a bite out of the average household’s budget too, with bus and metro tickets costing 2$ – 3$ per ride on average. However, some costs are more affordable in Togo, like healthcare which is heavily subsidized. The monthly energy bill for an average sized house comes out to only 45$ – 216$. While salaries have increased moderately, the overall cost of living in Togo still remains relatively high compared to other places. People moving here should factor the rising cost of living into their budgets.
