Can you afford it?

Tell us what lands in your account each month. We will set it against the four costs our city guides can actually source, rent, a desk, weekday lunches and getting around, and show you what is left for everything else.

Marrakech, a month

£664 to £1,020 for the basics.

Add your take-home pay above to see what is left.

Not every cost has a checked figure for Marrakech, so the real total is higher than this. The missing ones are marked below.

£46 to £115
Weekday lunchesPlat du jour, the weekday set lunch, MAD 50 to 80 each, 22 working days
£84 to £135
Getting aroundNo checked monthly bus pass price. A short petit taxi ride is MAD 10 to 20

What is counted. Four costs, and only four, because they are the ones every guide can source: rent, a desk, a lunch on each of 22 working days, and getting around. Food shopping, bills, a phone, insurance, tax and evenings out are not in it, which is why the answer is what is left for everything else, not what is left to save.

Where the figures come from. Each city's guide, checked against official statistics, the operators' own price pages and dated listings. Each line says what it is. Where a guide only publishes rent per square metre, the line says what size flat it assumes. Last copied from the guides on 3 October 2026.
