Cost of Living in Zambia for Students 2026
What it costs to live and study in Zambia, measured against comparable destinations, with the figures that decide a student budget.
Price level, against the United States
32%
A basket of goods costing $100 in the United States costs about $32 in Zambia, at market exchange rates. This is a whole-economy average from the World Bank (2023), not a student budget — rent near a university and a student's own habits move it a long way in both directions.
