Ghana Cost of Living Guide — Accra vs. Kumasi

Same money, completely different reality. This guide breaks down exactly what everyday money gets you in Ghana’s two biggest cities — rent, food, transport — so you know what you’re actually working with, whether you’re relocating, sending money home, or planning ahead.

Pay easily by bank transfer, card, or USSD — no foreign payment headaches.

What’s inside:

• Rent breakdown — central neighborhoods vs. budget areas, both cities

• Food & market costs — what a modest grocery budget actually looks like

• Transport — what it costs to get around, and how that differs between the two

• Sample monthly budgets for a single adult living modestly in each city

• Practical money moves that stretch further, wherever you’re spending

Real numbers, not guesswork — pulled from current cost-of-living data and on-the-ground pricing.
