Cambodia cost of living 2026

A price level comparison is a broad measure of how expensive one country is relative to another. It helps you compare overall cost pressure, but it does not replace a budget for study costs or day-to-day spending.

In Cambodia, that 35% figure suggests lower overall prices than in the United States, but it does not tell you what a room costs, what meals cost, or how much you will spend getting around. Those are the items most likely to change your monthly budget.

Cambodia has 21 universities listed here, including Asia Europe University, Angkor University, Build Bright University, Chamreun University of Poly Technology, Cambodia University of Specialties and International University. If you are choosing where to study, the school itself can affect your total cost as much as the country’s price level.

The GDP per capita PPP figure is 6,226 USD, which gives another reference point for the local economy. For planning, use the price level to compare Cambodia with the United States, then check the specific study, housing and living costs that apply to your own course and city.
