FAQ

Is Romania cheaper than Poland?

Yes. Based on a basket of everyday costs priced in Bitcoin satoshis, Romania is about 37% cheaper than Poland. Romania's cost-of-living index is 110,565 sats versus 175,378 sats for Poland — a lower number means your sats go further.

What is the cost of living difference between Romania and Poland?

Poland costs roughly 37% more than Romania across our key basket: a beer at a bar, a coffee, a liter of gasoline, a kWh of electricity, one-bedroom rent, and monthly internet. The full table on this page breaks the gap down item by item.

How is this comparison calculated?

Local prices for each country are collected in USD, then converted to Bitcoin satoshis at the current BTC/USD rate. We average the six key basket items into a single cost-of-living index per country, so two countries can be compared directly without juggling different fiat currencies.

Why compare prices in Bitcoin instead of dollars?

Pricing in sats removes local-currency inflation and exchange-rate noise from the comparison. One satoshi is the same unit everywhere, so a basket measured in sats reflects real purchasing power across borders — and shows how that purchasing power shifts over time as Bitcoin appreciates.

How often is the data updated?

Price data refreshes regularly as new figures arrive from our sources, and the Bitcoin conversion rate updates frequently. Prices can still vary by city and season, so treat the index as a directional guide rather than an exact quote.
