By: Rebecca Sarli On the website, individuals can select two locations, create a basket of goods, and compare cost of living. Goods range from food and clothing to electronics and furniture. For example, the global average price of an Apple iPad 2 (16GB, wifi) is $655 (USD). The highest cost is in Brazil $966 (USD) / 1,649 (BRL). That's a 47% cost of living index. The lowest cost is in Malaysia $499 (USD) / 1,512 (MYR). That's a (23%) cost of living index. In addition, individuals can create a basket of multiple goods and services. "We feel that this will improve transparency in cost of living comparisons, and greatly benefit job seekers, expats, and researchers." # # # HuMuch was founded by a group of global travelers located in the Washington DC Metro Area. Each time we explore a new place, we notice with amazement that an item is often sold in different places at drastically different prices. We've built an easy to use platform to help anyone find, share, and compare prices around the world.
