What the data means
The highest covered price level is 2.33 times the lowest. An index of 100 is the EU-wide reference, not the unweighted average of the country rows. Price levels cover a representative consumption basket; a visitor's rent, travel and spending mix can differ substantially.
Methodology, source and licence
EU member states only. Household final consumption expenditure, COICOP18 category E011; price level index PLI_EU27_2020, EU27 = 100. A common 2024 observation year is used for all countries. Values are price-level comparisons, not inflation rates or a relocation budget.
Source definition: Household final consumption expenditure price level index (EU27_2020=100).
