πŸ‡«πŸ‡· What living in Metz costs

Only two lines really change from one commune to the next: what you pay to live there, and what you pay to get to work. Here are both, priced for Metz.

The monthly bill for this address

Rent, 70 mΒ²

937 €

Commuting fuel

170 €

Public transport

β€”

Monthly total

1,107 €

Only the France leg is paid: from the Luxembourg border onwards, train, tram and bus are free.

Basis: 4 days at the office per week, 44 working weeks a year, return trip to Luxembourg City, 6 L/100 km at €1.55/L. Change those assumptions in the calculator.

Groceries, energy, insurance and tax are set nationally, not by the commune: comparing them town by town would be false precision. This page sticks to the two lines the address genuinely controls.
