It is a well known fact that the cost of living at one place or country is entirely different to the cost of living in another place or country.
If you decide to move to move to Tokyo from USA then you would come to know that Tokyo is a very expensive city and the cost of living is very high. You can get a complete house in the US in the amount in which you get a small apartment in Tokyo. So the cost of living varies form place to place. This also shows that knowing about the cost of living of place you are moving to is very important. It would have great implications on you assets and movement plans.
You will have to use cost of a living calculator for relocation internationally if you plan to move outside the country. You need these costs as they would dictate that how much money you require to sustain yourself and maintain your present life style at the place where you intend to relocate. You can find more than one costs on the internet and it is very easily found. An added advantage is that the service is free and does not cost anything.
When you want to find free websites for the cost of living calculator, then you need to go on the websites of real estate agencies. These sites normally have the information that you are looking for. the information is not much and can be easily found form these real estate websites. When you find what you are looking, then there is certain information which is to be fed to the site. You need to enter the country where you are presently living.
The calculator will need this information for comparative data later on. Then you have to enter the amount of money you make every year, i.e. your salary. If you do not know the exact figure then you should feed a number which is closet to the original amount and should be a close estimate of the original. The last information is about the city where you want to move to.
Then you command the calculator to calculate and in a few seconds after comparing the data of both the places the calculator will tell you the amount you need to maintain your life style in the new place. If the number you fed was 50,000 and you fed an answer of 80,000 then the cost of living in the other country is high and you need more money to carry yourself and your life style.
This situation is not acceptable. So you must always look for a number which is the same or lesser than what you are earning presently.

Help answer the question about cost of living in an apartment
What's the cost of living in an apartment in the Los Angeles area?I'm a college student currently living with my parents. I'd like to move out but I have no idea how much money I'd have to make per hour in order to survive on my own. Also, what part time (no more than 20 hrs per week) jobs can I get with little or no experience that can cover the costs?

Have a look at
http://tokyo.asiaxpat.com/property/serviced.asp
you can see rent starts at 315,000 per month (3,266 dollars) and rise to 1,500,000 yen per month (15,555 dollars).
The popular areas are Aoyama and around Omotesando station/near the Prada shop. Hiro and Roppongi are also popular.
This site looks like it has all the answers for you.

I can have a good night out on 5,000 yen (50 dollars) so you can multiply this a few times over because expats aren't thrifty.

C. The rent you could receive if you rented it to someone else
I am looking for such info as well….the local newspaper. They list all available apts and the going rates. When you visit the aprtment they might be able to give you idea on cost of utilities, and you might call comcast yourself…Some large apt complexes have special rates.
Check the paper. Forget Craig's List…too many day-dreamers looking for mansions, with pools, on the beach for squat.
1300 +
but i have a good deal in a really good area…its a huge 2 bedroom for 1170
what about working at a department store
go to
http://losangeles.craigslist.org/
for aprtments…and go on housing…then click on apartment/housing for rent then type in ur area
Get rid of your internet, cable & cell phone "plan." Get a pre-paid phone instead. Shop at Farmer's Markets. Buy versatile clothing~ ones you can mix & match. Hope even this little bit helps.
Depends on the size of the apartment, bedrooms, neighborhood, amenties. You werent real specific. Not sure if your single or have kids what you bring in per month or where in the country you are.
But if you are in the midwest you can expect to pay between $495-$515+ for a 1 bed room in a good neighborhood or $525-$650 for a 2 bedroom in good neighborhoods. But I would say with everything included around $1100 – $1200 if your single and your responsible with money. Family of 3 $1500 – $1800+. If you have car payments, daycare then you can add another $400-800 to the total above!
This reminds me of when I was in Moscow and someone asked me "how much do houses cost in America?" Hmm… its a bit too vague of a question to give an absolute answer to.
I just moved here about a month ago and found a 1 br + loft condo in phoenix for 695 a month less than 10 minutes from Scottsdale, I work of N. 7th Ave and the 101. It was 150.00 deposit for electricity. Let me know if you need any office help! Good luck.
At 2:25, did you knock over a glass? Your face for a second is like…’Crap…there goes that vodka…’
On the right side of the web page, directly underneath the picture of me where it says “TokyoCooney” is a text box. In small blue text it says “more info” click that and read the text description of the video. I believe in you! Yes you can! You can do it!
sorry, still cannot find the name. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME. THANKS.
i think this is the first video on youtube that had the camera on someone’s face, and that someone was talking about something not exactly humorous that I actually watched from beginning to end… I want to go to Tokyo
wow, internet will cost me P3000 (converted in peso) in Tokyo compared to P1200 that i pay in my country. Nevertheless, from what i heard the salary will compensate for the high standard of living there.
Its written in the video description on the side. It always is.
thats a ridiculous question because you didnt tell us what part of california. if you live in newport about 2000 for a one bedroom, in comptom maybe 500, in san fran maybe 2500
