How we calculate these numbers

Figures are 2026 estimates built from the Granada cost index (42/100), cross-referenced against Numbeo and Nomad List reporting and adjusted for what remote workers actually spend. Real prices move with neighbourhood, season and lifestyle, so treat this as a baseline to adjust rather than a quote.
