Fiji offers surprisingly affordable living for expats compared to developed nations, with costs about 35% lower than the Oceania average overall and 40% lower on consumer goods excluding rent. However, accommodation remains the largest expense, and costs are notably higher than local incomes suggest—the median local salary barely covers basic monthly expenses. For expats earning foreign income, Fiji represents excellent value; for those on local salaries, budgets can be tight.
