We get it — living in Toronto is expensive. And the costs are only going up.
From rent to food to transportation, Torontonians across the city are having to spend more for essential goods and services. Rents are higher than ever. A loaf of bread costs more now than it did a year ago. And TTC fare is the same whether or not you get stuck in a delay.
That’s why we made this affordability calculator to help you understand where your money is going, and better help you plan your finances, moving forward.
RENT
FOOD
Estimate how much you spend each month on food. Include both groceries and eating out (take out or dine in from restaurants, cafes, pubs and other food vendors).
Non-affiliated links of grocery store flyers for your convenience:
Some grocery stores also offer price matching.
TRANSPORTATION
Enter the locations of where you live and where you work. This information will be used to estimate the cost of transportation.
