Hanoi cost of living calculator: build your monthly total line by line

By the Vietnam Expat team. Last reviewed 2026-09-22

The Hanoi cost of living calculator adds eight worksheet lines to a monthly total. At the crowd rent for a one bedroom outside the center, one person needs about 15.1 million dong (586 US dollars [1]), a couple about 22.2 million and a family of four about 38.9 million, before school and optional extras.

Key facts

Who this is for: People who want to build their own Hanoi monthly number instead of trusting one advertised figure, for one person, a couple or a family of four.
Cost: At the Numbeo rent for a one bedroom outside the center, the eight worksheet lines total about 15,146,141 dong (586 US dollars) for one person, 22,212,226 dong (860 dollars) for a couple and 38,869,970 dong (1,505 dollars) for a family of four in a three bedroom, before school.
Time: One pass through the tables below with your own bills to hand, then one billing cycle to check your electricity and water bills against the worksheet.
Documents: Your lease or listing, your last electricity and water bills, and the building's fee notice.
What changed recently: Hanoi's apartment service charge band changed on 23 February 2026, and the VAT cut the electricity line depends on runs only to 31 December 2026.
What is still unverified: Every rent figure is crowd data or an asking price, not a signed lease, and we have not seen an EVN bill that prints the 8 percent VAT.

How does the Hanoi cost of living calculator work?

You add eight lines and read your own Hanoi monthly budget in dong and dollars. The page is a worksheet with no live form, so copy the lines into a spreadsheet and swap our example inputs for your own bills.

Line	What you enter	Price source
Rent	Your own quote, or a median for your area and bedroom count	Numbeo, Dot Property, Muaban.net [23][2][3]
Electricity	Your kWh, split into six tiers, plus 8 percent VAT	EVN tariff [5][6], VAT rule [7]
Water	Your cubic meters, split into four tiers	HAWACOM tariff [8]
Internet	One home fiber plan	FPT price list [9]
Building fee	Your floor area times the fee band	Hanoi fee decision [10]
Phone	One plan for each adult	Numbeo crowd average [24]
Food	Meals out times the price of a meal, plus groceries	Numbeo crowd prices [24]
Transport	A rented scooter plus gasoline, or rides times the fare	Motorbike shop, Honda, Grab, Green SM [11][12][13][14][15]

Source: the numbered sources in the table, read 2026-09-21 and 2026-09-22. Amounts are dong a month, and dollars use Vietcombank's transfer rate of 25,830 dong [1].

The quantities you type in, such as kilowatt hours and restaurant meals, are our own round examples, and no survey sits behind them. Optional lines and one time costs have their own tables further down.

Which Hanoi rent figure should you enter?

Enter the number that matches where you look, because the three sources we read do not agree. Numbeo's contributors report 7,335,714 dong (284 US dollars [1]) for a one bedroom outside the center [23]. Dot Property's English language ads run well above that, and Muaban.net's Vietnamese language ads run below it.

Source	Language	One bedroom, dong a month	US dollars [1]	Sample
Muaban.net, citywide [3]	Vietnamese	6,000,000	232	28 ads, median
Numbeo, crowd [23]	English language site	7,335,714	284	869 entries, 12 months
Dot Property, Nam Tu Liem [2]	English	11,750,000	455	94 ads, median
Dot Property, Tay Ho [2]	English	15,000,000	581	35 ads, median

Source: Numbeo, last updated 2026-09-09 [23], and our reading of Dot Property and Muaban.net listings [2][3], read 2026-09-21. Dollars at 25,830 dong [1].

Why do asking rents differ so much by portal?

Dot Property is an English language portal, and its typical one bedroom listing is 43 square meters [2]. Muaban.net is a Vietnamese language portal with a smaller typical size, 32 square meters, and a citywide one bedroom median below both Dot Property district medians [3].

Numbeo measures something else: what contributors say they pay, not what an ad asks [23]. No Vietnamese government body publishes Hanoi rent levels, so treat all three as different windows on the same market, not one right number.

How do you work out the electricity bill?

Split your meter reading into six tiers and add an 8 percent tax. Household electricity starts at 1,984 dong per kWh for the first 50 kWh and climbs to 3,460 dong above 400 kWh, before value added tax [5].

Tier	kWh in the tier	Dong per kWh before VAT [5]
One	0 to 50	1,984
Two	51 to 100	2,050
Three	101 to 200	2,380
Four	201 to 300	2,998
Five	301 to 400	3,350
Six	401 and above	3,460

Resolution 204/2025/QH15 cuts VAT by 2 points, to 8 percent, from 1 July 2025 to 31 December 2026, for goods and services outside a named exclusion list [7]. Electricity is not on that list, so this worksheet adds 8 percent, though we have not seen an EVN bill that prints the rate [7].

kWh a month	Before VAT	With 8 percent VAT	US dollars [1]
200	439,700	474,876	18.38

Does a short lease change your electricity bill?

Yes. If your lease runs under 12 months and the landlord has not declared every occupant, EVN bills the whole meter at the tier three rate, 2,380 dong per kWh [5][6].

At 300 kWh that flat rate costs 714,000 dong before VAT, 25,500 dong less than the tiered bill of 739,500 [5][6]. If your use rises in hot months, every kWh above 400 is billed at the tier six price; our climate and seasons guide covers when Hanoi runs hottest.

What do water, internet and the building fee add?

Hanoi water starts at 8,500 dong per cubic meter for the first 10 cubic meters a month, before VAT and the wastewater fee [8]. FPT lists its 300 Mbps home fiber plan at 195,000 dong a month [9].

Water use	Dong a month, before VAT and fee	US dollars [1]
4 cubic meters	34,000	1.32
8 cubic meters	68,000	2.63

Hanoi's Decision 25/2026/QD-UBND sets a fee band for apartment buildings with an elevator, 1,200 to 16,500 dong per square meter a month [10]. The band leaves out fire insurance, management board pay and premium services such as a pool or cable television [10].

Home size	Low, 1,200 per m2	Midpoint, 8,850	High, 16,500 [10]

Ask your landlord in writing whether rent already includes this fee, and enter zero on your worksheet if it does.

How do you price food and getting around?

Multiply the meals you eat out by the price of a meal, then add your groceries. An inexpensive Hanoi meal averages 55,000 dong on Numbeo's 15 June 2026 update (2.13 US dollars [1]), and a mid-range dinner for two averages 500,000 dong [24].

Our worksheet skips groceries and prices eating out only: 60 inexpensive meals and 4 mid-range dinners a person, the dinners split in half. That comes to 4,300,000 dong a person (166.47 US dollars [1]), our own round example, not a survey figure.

For getting around, a rented Honda Air Blade 125cc costs 2,000,000 dong a month at a Hanoi shop, and gasoline for 500 km adds about 266,378 dong [13][14][15]. Ride hailing is the other option.

Option	Dong
Air Blade 125cc, one month's rent [15]	2,000,000
Gasoline, 500 km at 2.12 liters per 100 km [14][13]	266,378
Scooter and gasoline, one month	2,266,378
GrabBike, one 5 km ride [11]	25,921

What is the total for one person, a couple and a family of four?

At the Numbeo rent, the eight lines total 15,146,141 dong for one person, 22,212,226 for a couple and 38,869,970 for a family of four, or 586, 860 and 1,505 US dollars [1]. School and optional lines come on top.

Source: our arithmetic on the sections above, worked 2026-09-22. Dollars at 25,830 dong [1].

Why does the rent line move the total so much?

Rent is the only line that changes between these one person builds. Swap the Numbeo rent for the Dot Property Tay Ho median, 15,000,000 dong, and the one person total rises to 22,810,427 dong (883 dollars), a jump of 297 dollars from one line alone [1][2][3].

Swap it for Muaban's citywide median, 6,000,000 dong, and the same total falls to 13,810,427 dong (535 dollars) [1][2][3]. The other seven lines never move, so check your rent figure first.

Is the advertised Hanoi budget on Nomads.com real?

Partly. Nomads.com's own figures for Hanoi, last updated 22 September 2026, are Nomad 1,281 US dollars, Expat 984, Family 1,846 and Local 527 a month [25]. Our worksheet build lands below its Expat figure and above its Local one.

Guide figure	Dollars [25]	Our closest build, dollars [1]
Nomads.com, Local	527	535, Muaban rent
Nomads.com, Expat	984	535 to 883, by rent reading
Nomads.com, Family	1,846	1,505, family of four

Source: Nomads.com, read 2026-09-22, with its own label for each figure [25]. Our builds are the totals worked out in the section above.

Our one person builds run 535 to 883 dollars [1] depending on which rent reading you use, below the Expat label and above the Local one. Our eight lines skip groceries, clothing, entertainment and flights, and we did not check which of those Nomads.com counts, so read the gap as unexplained.

For a family, our build of 1,505 dollars [1] runs 341 dollars, about 18 percent, below the 1,846 dollar Family figure [25], and our build excludes school.

Nomads.com's own rent line, a one bedroom studio in the center at 415 dollars [25], sits above our Muaban [3] and Numbeo figures, 232 and 284 dollars, and below our two Dot Property [2] figures, 455 and 581.

Check which unit size a guide prices before trusting its total. For the same check run against Ho Chi Minh City, read our Saigon cost of living guide.

Which optional lines can you add?

The optional lines we priced are a gym, coworking, a cleaner, a doctor visit and school. Each has a dated price below.

Option	Basis	Dong	US dollars [1]
Gym	Numbeo crowd, one adult, monthly fee [24]	714,526	27.66
Coworking	Toong hot desk, from [17]	1,900,000	73.56
Cleaner	bTaskee Ho Chi Minh City rate, 4 hours a week [18]	1,368,000	52.96
Doctor	Hanoi French Hospital, general practitioner [21]	1,500,000	58.07
School, BIS Hanoi Year 12	One child, yearly fee spread over 12 months [20]	80,850,000	3,130.08

With a gym, coworking and a cleaner added, the one person total rises to 19,128,667 dong (740.56 US dollars), still below Nomads.com's Expat figure of 984 dollars [25].

UNIS Hanoi charges by grade in US dollars, not dong: 17,460 for Early Years to 39,870 for grades 11 and 12 a year, or about 1,455 to 3,323 a month [19]. One child at the top UNIS grade alone costs more than double the family worksheet total above.

A state hospital charges far less than the private doctor line above. The Ministry of Health's national frame runs 30,100 to 45,900 dong for a consultation, by hospital class, against Hanoi French Hospital's 1,500,000 dong [21][22]. For clinic choices beyond these two options, read our healthcare guide.

Which one time costs sit outside the monthly total?

Start with the deposit. The two Muaban ads we read that state a deposit each ask one month's rent, so a Numbeo rent deposit would be 7,335,714 dong and a Tay Ho asking rent deposit 15,000,000 [3][23][2].

Vietnam's Civil Code, Article 328, says what happens if either side backs out: the party who received the deposit keeps it if the payer backs out, and returns it plus an equal sum if the receiver backs out, unless the contract says otherwise [4]. A Vietnamese lawyer can confirm how the article applies to a specific lease.

Cost	Dong	Basis
Deposit, Numbeo rent	7,335,714	One month, as in two Muaban ads [3][23]
Deposit, Tay Ho ask	15,000,000	One month, as in two Muaban ads [3][2]
New Honda Wave Alpha	19,037,455	Honda list price [16]
New Honda Vision	31,506,545	Honda list price [16]
New Honda SH Mode 125	59,684,727	Honda list price [16]
BIS Hanoi one time fees	98,900,000	Application, registration, refundable deposit [20]

Source: two Muaban.net ads [3], Civil Code Article 328 [4], Honda Vietnam's price list [16] and British International School Hanoi's fee page [20], read 2026-09-21 and 2026-09-22. Deposit and fee sums are our arithmetic.

A year of renting an Air Blade 125 costs 24,000,000 dong, 12 payments of 2,000,000, against 59,684,727 dong to buy a new SH Mode 125 or 31,506,545 for a new Vision [15][16].

What does the calculator leave out?

It leaves out these lines, some because we found no dated price and some because our example skips them.

Groceries, since our example food line prices meals out only.
Health insurance, because we found no published premium for a working age adult.
Visa and residence costs, which are a question for a licensed adviser.
Flights, clothing, household goods and electronics.
The wastewater fee on the water bill, which HAWACOM excludes from its printed tariff [8].
Parking, which this worksheet does not price.

How often should you refresh these numbers?

Every month or two, and before you sign a lease. The building fee band changed on 23 February 2026, and the VAT cut the electricity line depends on ends 31 December 2026 [7][10].

Dot Property and Muaban.net show live ads, so re-run your own search on the day you sign rather than trust an old screenshot. Keep this Hanoi living costs worksheet next to your lease and read our Hanoi cost of living guide for the fuller month by month picture.

What we could not verify

Private rents. No Vietnamese government body publishes Hanoi rent levels. Every rent figure on this page is Numbeo crowd data, an individual asking price, or a median built from asking prices read on 2026-09-21, not a signed lease.
The cleaner price. bTaskee's own page states its hourly rates for Ho Chi Minh City and says prices can vary by area. No separate Hanoi table was found, so this page uses the Ho Chi Minh City figure as the closest priced reference.
The coworking price. Toong's hot desk figure is a sitewide 'from' price with no date printed and no figure split out for one Hanoi location.
VAT on household electricity. Resolution 204/2025/QH15 sets the 8 percent rate and electricity is not on the exclusion list, but we have not opened an EVN bill that prints the rate.
The building fee midpoint, 8,850 dong per square meter, is our own arithmetic choice, not a stated average. A real building's charge can sit anywhere in the 1,200 to 16,500 band.
Example quantities. The 200, 300 and 500 kWh, the 4, 8 and 16 cubic meters, the 60 meals and 4 dinners, and the 500 km a month are our round examples, not survey averages.
Health insurance. We found no published premium for a working age adult, so no health line sits in any total.

Frequently asked questions

How much does the Hanoi worksheet total for one person, a couple and a family of four?

At the Numbeo rent, one person totals 15,146,141 dong a month, about 586 US dollars. A couple totals 22,212,226 dong, about 860 dollars, and a family of four totals 38,869,970 dong, about 1,505 dollars. Rent is the largest line for one person, and food is largest for the couple and family of four.

Can one person really live on $1,000 a month in Hanoi?

On this worksheet, yes: a thousand dollars converts to 25,830,000 dong, above our one person total of 15,146,141 dong at the Numbeo crowd rent. With a gym, coworking and a cleaner added, the total is about 741 dollars. The worksheet skips groceries, health insurance and flights, so those come on top.

Is $2,000 a month enough for a couple in Hanoi on this worksheet?

Yes, with a wide margin. Two thousand dollars converts to 51,660,000 dong, well above our couple total of 22,212,226 dong at the Numbeo rent, and still above it after swapping in the highest district median we read, 15,000,000 dong in Tay Ho, which lifts the couple total to 29,876,512 dong.

Which exchange rate does this calculator use?

Vietcombank's transfer buying rate, 25,830 dong per US dollar, from its feed stamped 2:53 AM Vietnam time on 23 September 2026. The same feed showed a cash buying rate of 25,800 and a selling rate of 26,210. A dollar figure from another guide may not convert to our dong figures exactly.

Why is a Dot Property asking rent higher than Numbeo's number?

They measure different things: Dot Property is an English language portal of asking rents, with a typical one bedroom size of 43 square meters. Numbeo reports what contributors say they pay. Muaban.net, a Vietnamese language portal, reads lower still, with a smaller typical size of 32 square meters.

How much deposit do you need before you move into a Hanoi apartment?

Two Muaban ads we read ask one month's rent, 7,335,714 dong at the Numbeo rent or 15,000,000 at the Tay Ho ask. Under Civil Code Article 328, the receiver keeps it if the payer backs out, and repays it plus an equal sum if the receiver backs out, unless agreed otherwise. Ask a lawyer to confirm.

Does the rent line on this worksheet include the building service fee?

That depends on your lease, so ask in writing. Hanoi's fee band runs 1,200 to 16,500 dong per square meter a month with an elevator, which is 54,000 to 742,500 dong on a 45 square meter flat. Enter zero on the building fee line only once your landlord confirms rent already covers it.

What does a scooter cost per month in Hanoi, gasoline included?

About 2,266,378 dong: 2,000,000 to rent a Honda Air Blade 125cc, plus 266,378 of gasoline for 500 km at Honda's rated 2.12 liters per 100 km and the 17 September pump price. A five kilometer GrabBike ride costs 25,921 dong, near a same distance Xanh SM Bike ride at 25,800.

Is Hanoi cheaper than Ho Chi Minh City on this worksheet?

We did not rebuild this worksheet for Ho Chi Minh City, so compare rent only. Hanoi's Numbeo one bedroom rent outside the centre, 7,335,714 dong, sits 519,885 dong, about 7 percent, below Saigon's 7,855,599 dong for the same size flat, both Numbeo crowd figures. Water and phone prices stay local to each city, not shared.

How much more does electricity cost during a hot month?

Above 400 kWh, every extra 100 kWh costs 346,000 dong before VAT, or 373,680 with the 8 percent VAT, because tier six prices at 3,460 dong per kWh, the highest tier price on the tariff. Our 500 kWh example costs 1,534,140 dong with VAT.

Can you copy this worksheet into a spreadsheet?

Yes, make eight rows for rent, electricity, water, internet, building fee, phone, food and transport. Copy each formula from the tables here, replace our example inputs with your own bills and quotes, and add the column. Keep the source date next to each input, so you can see which prices have gone stale when you come back to the sheet.

How often should these worksheet inputs be updated?

Every month or two, and before you sign a lease. The building fee band changed on 23 February 2026, and the VAT cut the electricity line depends on ends 31 December 2026. Dot Property and Muaban.net show live ads, so re-run your own search rather than trust an old screenshot.

How much does one child at an international school add to this worksheet?

It depends heavily on the school. British International School Hanoi's Year 12 fee, spread over 12 months, adds about 80,850,000 dong, more than double the family of four worksheet total. United Nations International School of Hanoi charges 17,460 to 39,870 US dollars a year by grade, or about 1,455 to 3,323 a month.

Is Nomads.com's advertised Hanoi budget close to what this worksheet builds?

Not exactly: our 1,505 dollar family build sits 341 dollars, about 18 percent, below Nomads.com's 1,846 dollar Family figure, and excludes school. Its 984 dollar Expat figure runs above our one person builds of 535 to 883 dollars. Our eight lines skip groceries, clothing, entertainment and flights, and we did not check which lines it counts.
