If you\u2019re thinking about moving to Atlanta, you\u2019re in for some fun times, from museums to aquariums, zoos, historic sites, and much more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, what\u2019s it cost to live in the ATL? Today, we\u2019re going to cover the cost of living in Atlanta in depth to help you figure out if this city is in the cards for you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s get right into it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"597\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Downtown Atlanta Skyline at Night\" class=\"wp-image-19899 lazyload\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/atlanta-skyline-night-1024x597.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/atlanta-skyline-night-1024x597.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/atlanta-skyline-night-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/atlanta-skyline-night-768x448.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/atlanta-skyline-night.jpg 1200w\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"h-average-cost-of-living-in-atlanta-georgia\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Average_cost_of_living_in_Atlanta_Georgia\"><\/span>Average cost of living in Atlanta, Georgia<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Knowing the cost of living in Atlanta is helpful so that you can anticipate how much you\u2019ll have to pay for basic necessities, such as utilities, housing, and food\u2013plus more (think: daycare).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You might be surprised to know that Atlanta\u2019s cost of living exceeds Georgia\u2019s cost of living by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/cost-of-living-calculator\/us\/ga\/atlanta\/\">18%<\/a>. (Fun fact: the city also has a 5% greater cost of living than the U.S. as a whole.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, that doesn\u2019t mean that everything is more expensive in Atlanta. Some costs line up or are even less than other major cities in the U.S.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s break down the cost of living in Atlanta, Georgia, in 2022.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-housing\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Housing\"><\/span>Housing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Atlanta\u2019s housing costs are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bestplaces.net\/cost_of_living\/city\/georgia\/atlanta\">14.6%<\/a> higher than the national average, with the median home cost sitting at a cozy $334,200. In case you\u2019re curious, Georgia\u2019s housing costs are 17.6% lower than the national average, and homes cost a median rate of $240,400 across the state.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That means that if you plan to move to Atlanta, finding a job with a good salary is paramount to ensure you can cover your mortgage costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s say you want to rent first. Is rent expensive in Atlanta? It depends exactly where you move to, the type of home, the number of bedrooms, etc. Apartment rent runs for an average of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentcafe.com\/average-rent-market-trends\/us\/ga\/atlanta\/\">$1,861<\/a>. (This is actually less than what you\u2019d pay in a city like Chicago, which has a last reported average rent of <a href=\"https:\/\/bungalow.com\/articles\/what-is-the-real-cost-of-living-in-chicago-il\">$1,948<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep in mind that this number is for less than 1,000 square feet and one bedroom. If you need more rooms, you\u2019ll want to budget for more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-utilities-and-taxes\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Utilities_and_taxes\"><\/span>Utilities and taxes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes down to it, you\u2019ll find that it\u2019s more expensive to live in the ATL than in other Georgia cities in terms of housing, transportation, healthcare, and goods and services. However, utilities don\u2019t cost as much in Atlanta.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, they have the state average beat by 7% and the national average beat by 15%. If you live in an apartment and will be paying for all of your basic utilities (electric, water, garbage, heating, and cooling), plan for a minimum of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.apartmentratings.com\/renters-library\/typical-utility-costs-in-atlanta.html\">$151<\/a>. You\u2019ll also want to plan for taxes. The city\u2019s sales tax rate is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avalara.com\/taxrates\/en\/state-rates\/georgia\/cities\/atlanta.html\">8.9%<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-food-and-drinks\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Food_and_drinks\"><\/span>Food and drinks<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you\u2019re thinking about whether Atlanta is cheap or expensive, one of the first things you might look at is food prices. Even though Atlanta costs more in many areas, the cost of food is 1% lower in Atlanta than in most areas throughout the country.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can get a decent meal for $15-$30, with higher-end restaurants costing about $30-$50 for an entr\u00e9e. As for drinks, you can get a cocktail for an average price of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expatistan.com\/price\/cocktail\/atlanta\">$13<\/a>. That\u2019s cheaper than what you\u2019d find in cities like <a href=\"\/moving-to\/boston-massachusetts\/\">Boston<\/a>, Massachusetts.&nbsp;<\/p><div class=\"getbe-middle\" style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center; \" id=\"getbe-1480699008\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.getbellhops.com\/book\/service\/\" aria-label=\"The Better Way to Move\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"The Better Way to Move\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" width=\"600\" height=\"160\" style=\" max-width: 100%; height: auto;\" class=\"lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160.png 600w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/600x160-300x80.png 300w\"><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-daycare-and-private-tuition\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Daycare_and_private_tuition\"><\/span>Daycare and private tuition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Rates are different for every daycare facility, your kids\u2019 ages, and where the daycare is located. If you need to send your kids to daycare while you work full-time, plan to spend about <a href=\"https:\/\/winnie.com\/resources\/cost-of-child-care-in-georgia-by-age-city-type\">$845\/month<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As for private schooling, you can expect an average cost of tuition of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.privateschoolreview.com\/georgia\/atlanta\">$16,215<\/a> in Atlanta. This is several thousand dollars more than the average in the state of Georgia, which comes to $11,365.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this can add up, the good news is that Atlanta has 132 private schools to choose from. That means that you\u2019re sure to find a private school in your budget and a part of the city that meets your needs and caters to the classes and activities your kids are interested in pursuing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"h-transportation\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Transportation\"><\/span>Transportation<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Atlanta has a train that can take you across the city, including to the airport and many suburbs that fall on the outskirts of the city. There are also many buses, the Atlanta Streetcar (can take you to select places in Downtown ATL), and many free shuttles (can go to various malls and colleges).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The total cost of transportation depends on where you live, work, and need to go on any given day. A single trip on a <a href=\"https:\/\/gosouthatlanta.com\/visitor-info\/public-transport.html\">MARTA (Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid Transit Authority) bus or train<\/a> goes for $2.50, with discounts if you have a disability or are a senior citizen.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, you can take up to two kids with you for free as long as you are an adult paying for the cost of your fare, and the kids are less than 46 inches tall. Your fare covers as much as four transfers as long as they happen within three hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you plan to travel often, you can get multi-trip or multi-day passes. Twenty trips will run you $42.50, saving you the cost of three trips. As for multi-day passes, you can pay for increments of one to four days, seven days, or 30 days. Getting a seven-day pass will cost $23.75.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, the average cost of public transportation in Atlanta is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expatistan.com\/price\/public-transport\/atlanta\">$91<\/a> (about what it costs for transportation in Seattle), which is cheaper than what you\u2019d pay in cities like Washington, D.C., but more costly than places like New Orleans or Austin. (Note: Your cost of living in Atlanta per month may also go up if you\u2019re traveling by car instead of public transportation.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"597\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"Atlanta MARTA riders holding on to straps\" class=\"wp-image-19898 lazyload\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/public-transit-atlanta-1024x597.jpg\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/public-transit-atlanta-1024x597.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/public-transit-atlanta-300x175.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/public-transit-atlanta-768x448.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bellhopblog.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/public-transit-atlanta.jpg 1200w\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_salary_do_you_need_to_live_in_Atlanta\"><\/span>What salary do you need to live in Atlanta?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The salary you need to get by in Atlanta depends on a couple of factors. For instance, are you single or married? If you live with someone, do they have a job? Do you have children? All of these things play roles in your salary requirements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts show that if it\u2019s just you, and you don\u2019t have any kiddos at home, you need at least <a href=\"https:\/\/livingwage.mit.edu\/metros\/12060\">$38,213<\/a> to cover your basic expenses of living in Atlanta. If you have one child, you can expect your salary needs to increase to $68,940 or $85,571 for two kids. Have three children or more? Look for a job that offers a minimum of $111,468 per year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now, let\u2019s say there are two adults in the home, and only one works. How much does it cost to live comfortably in Atlanta for you? If there are no kids in the cards right now, a salary of $56,106 is a good starting place.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For one kid, that number goes up to $66,472. Have two kids? Plan for at least $77,854, or if you have three kids, keep an eye out for a job that offers a minimum of $84,410.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Keep in mind that these values might not be enough depending on the suburb and type of home you rent or own.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Need_help_moving_to_Atlanta\"><\/span>Need help moving to Atlanta?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We hope this blog on the cost of living in Atlanta was helpful.
