- What would it cost you to live in the Philippines? We say you can do well on 1000 USD a month plus your rent costs.

You guys are good planner right from the beginning. You're an example of "living the best of your retirement life" in the Philippines. You built your dream house out from your retirement savings and now, you're debt free and reaping the fruit of your hard work in the USA. If you're still living in the West, that would be impossible, so kudos to both of you. Hoping more good couples will be blessed like you guys do. God bless.
Thank you Elizabeth for the nice comment. Thanks for watching.
Nicely done Greg and Wilma.
Thank you, appreciate it.
I live in Mactan Newtown - I'm poor by foreigner standards at 70,000 pesos a month. My monthly living obligation is 30,000 - and I budget 6,000 a week for food. (24,000) Visa is 1,000 a month - giving me 15,000 to spend on women and entertainment. Much cheaper to have one woman to live with you full time than you have a revolving door - but women and entertainment will eat a lot if you're not careful. Life is good - I live a life of resort style luxury.
Thanks for breaking down your budget. It's good for viewers to see different lifestyles, areas and approaches. Appreciate the comment.
LOVE this house , are you willing to share blueprints ??
would love to build this
No, have not shared blueprints. Any architect in the Philippines can take your design that you sketch and create a set of blueprints in just a few weeks. Thanks for commenting.
Do you guys have property taxes? Also, do you ever think that you will consider health insurance in the future as you get more seasoned?
Property tax is paid in January. It was 70 pesos or $1.20 usd. We did not get the house tax yet. I was told about 1000 pesos or $20 usd per year. May look into medical as we get older. Good question.
Wow cheap spending. I thought Dumaguete is more expensive than Bohol😮
We think so too. Not bad at all. Thanks for watching.
You may not pay rent but you will pay property tax which is 2% in the City and 1% in the province on a 10mill php property value is 18kphp/m for the City and 9kphp/m for the province.
What would the rent be on 10m property? Maybe 50k per month as compared to 9k per year.
@@buildingthephilippines yes I'd say 50k php/ month in the province, the property tax outside the City is 1% which would be 100k/yr or 8.5k/m.
I only mention this as it's an expense you didn't include (as well as repairs and maintenance costs and the same for your vehicles), not to be difficult Sir. You don't live for free just because you own and built your property which looks very nice btw, property tax, ongoing general maintenance + replacement costs needs to be budgeted for. Only my opinion but I'd be setting aside 15 -20k php/month for these costs that will increase as your very nice property ages. What you have is exactly what I would do, look to Cavite or northern Luzon province to build (where the climate is more forgiving).
FYI I have been liviing in a 60sqm 1 bed rented penthouse apartment with access to a large roof garden and swimming pool in Makati for 6 years. A 2 bed 110sqm recently came up for sale in my building for 15mill php, it made no financial sense to buy, property tax @ 2% was 300k/yr, maintenance juice is 15k/month, maintenance and repair costs of say 10k/month, total cost 50kphp/month + 15mill to buy versus 35kphp/month rent, juice included. Also very little capital growth left in Makati real estate as the markets already vastly over inflated.
All good points. Appreciate the dialog.
Nice od you to provide so much detail Lovd your lot, location So green Air Quality looks great Blue skies Hope u can enjoy it for decades.
I'm sorry that you're spending almost $1,000 a month in the Philippines, and in a rural area at that, not even Makati, BGC or Greenbelt).
As I have watched your videos, a couple of them (the one where you guys had to pick up your laundry among other videos).
I was born in the Philippines and was brought up by very simple parents (my father was born in mainland China, so you could imagine how difficult his life was. My late mom was from Negros Occidental.
So, basically, I'm here to simply share how you might be able to save money & hopefully, it's still doable, now that you have a luxurious life having a swimming pool that is kept alive by a pump which basically is connected to the electricity. This is one of those things that will drain your money. With all those tall grasses around your house and rainy season for the rest of the year up to next year, your swimming pool might even be a breeding ground for mosquitoes/ I'm just saying 🙂
Another one is, I wish you could have had gutters installed which will be the source of your water to flush the toilet and perhaps to use for cleaning.
I wish you could have had water tanks installed where the gutters would fill up during the rainy season in the Philippines and later on will be used to water your garden. You then don't have to pay so much for water. Am I right?
Another is, since you have a wide land, you could have thought of planting fruit-bearing trees as well as veggies that you guys would often use for cooking. Since it rains for about 6-8 months, a greenhouse could have been thought of too.
Raise, chickens that you could convert into food, of course.
Laundry... Definitely a killer there. Just imagine the gasoline you will be using for your tiny scooter to go to the laundry place and come back + how much do you guys spend for the laundry? If it's just the folding that you are after, you guys can definitely do that. You guys are still young.
Hope these all made sense, even a bit, Greg & Wilma.
I wish you the best
Thanks Rosy for all the well thought out recommendations. Appreciate you taking the time to make some suggestions to save us money. Thanks for watching.
These folks know exactly what they're doing. I'm sure the water bill or electricity 0:03 isn't going to bankrupt them. I really can't see chickens and roosters running around this place.
Wow! you guys have an awesome budget.Very smart and frugal. Here in Guam, our budget is $7,500.00 U.S. dollars. Cost of living here in Guam is very expensive. Our house rent is 3,500 dollars in gated community including internet, water, and electricity. $3,00.00 dollars is for food, eating out, insurance and fuel with two vehicle, of course we still have one daughter that live with us. This is not including health care. We can't wait to retire!
Yes, it's like that in many areas of the world. The Philippines is much more affordable. Thanks for watching.
Ice Cream! Häagen-Dazs costs way more in Thailand than the States...! Is it also true there?
I have only seen one type of ice cream here, selecta.
Question: are there anyother property, school, municiple, etc.. taxes... ?
Just property/house annual tax in January. Was told it will be about $21 a year.
Great video Wilma and Greg, very informative and useful info, thank you for it, Cheers
Thanks for the comment, appreciate it.
Greg, do you have your own drone to take the aerial footage at the end of your video? Wow! Looks wonderful. You really have what looks like a superb location with a lovely home!
No don't have a drone, a friend of mine does as he shot that footage. Thanks for watching.
Question, do you also have budget for auto insurance and health insurance? $$
Auto $600 a year, full coverage. No health insurance, pay as we go.
So it means, if you have a baby--it will be way more monthly expenditures then>?
I would assume so, no babies for us. Those days are long over.
Congratulations to your retirement home. Nice house. Enjoy.
Thank you, appreciate it.
My first video of yours, I saw you guys on Mike’s channel.
That's great, thanks for stopping by. Appreciate it. Join the journey.
Why is Wilma on your right side today on my TV and on the left side on tablet.
I have no idea, maybe TVs and tablets display the imagine differently? Test that theory with another channel. Maybe it's just magic. Lol.
Many filipino family of 4 will spend a lot less P40K a month.
Absolutely they will. Most family's in this area make less than 20k pesos per month in total.
Thank you. That was a very good breakdown on your budget to give us an idea if we can survive there in the Philippines. My question: how much is car insurance, registration and property tax there? TIA from Hawaii aloha 🌺
Hello, registration for a vehicle is $50 for 3 years. Insurance for full coverage depends on cost of car. Ours was $800 first year and goes down every year as the car depreciates. Tax also depends on size of land and house size. We don't know yet as we are waiting for the assessment. Our land tax is $1.25 a year.
Wow that’s a pretty good deal. Thank you very much for your quick response 😃
Do you have someone come to clean the pool and if so what are the fees for that service?
Wilma and I do all the cleaning and maintenance of the property, including the pool. If we have any major things like shoveling rock, then we would bring in a laborer for one day only.
For emergencies I have a credit card with a good size available balance. I haven’t found an insurance that provides much of an advantage here.
I agree, credit card gets you in the door and treated. Great point. Thanks Robert.
Absolutely true that people need to save up for emergency fund, specially medical. You can live in the Philippines comfortably. Take care and Godbless you both.
Thank you for the comment. Need to be ready for that medical emergency that could happen at anytime. Thanks for watching.
Hi Greg & Wilma. Thank you for openly sharing your monthly budget. Did you buy or lease your land? As a Canadian, my understanding is I can’t buy land. Are there opportunities to lease land short or long term perhaps in the cooler mountains of Dauin? I’m contemplating building a tiny home - perhaps 25~30% the size of yours without a pool. What would be a realistic budget to build a very simple, low cost 300~400 square foot, open-floor-plan home concrete or even treated bamboo? Any idea?
I have no experience with leasing land. I heard the terms are 25 years with an option to extend another 25 years. Best to contact a local attorney for your specific questions.
@@buildingthephilippines Thanks. Have you dealt with a knowledgeable, local attorney there that you know and trust?
Yes, Michael Miguel at miguellawoffice@gmail.com
Wow $80 electric bill without A/C? That's expensive guys. Do you ever eat out? If so how much is that in the budget? Ok just heard that. Cell phone service is cheap there. What about house insurance? No house taxes?
$80 bill is extremely cheap to me. Pool pump, 2 fridges with freezers. I explained us eating dinner out on the same video. House insurance no. Taxes was $1.40 usd for 2023.
@@buildingthephilippines Thank you so much for responding. Is there no way to get home insurance in the Philippines? I think electricity is just expensive all over the Philippines. Just my take. Certainly some things are cheaper.
I agree. I'm sure you can get home insurance, not sure if it's worth it or not. May look into it at some point.
Roy from Hamilton in Scotland. I would like to thank Wilma and yourself Greg for making all your videos. Your chosen topics have been a huge help for me as I am planning to come and live in the Philippines. I hope to find and buy land and buy a ready built new or Resale property. Like yourself Greg my main want is a swimming pool and maybe a jacuzzi size 10 or 12mtrs x 4 or 5 mtrs. Heated seawater pool.
The house 3 bedrms with 3 or 4 bathrooms (1 toilet & wash basin for the pool guests).
Thanks for your monthly budget and especially Greg for your total All-in house build price for everything. I would not want to change anything except I would prefer a Red tiled angled roof and install solar panels. ❤
Sounds like you have a good plan. Congrats on your future retirement.
Thank you Greg & Wilma for your reply. I am already retired and I plan to come to the Philippines as soon as long haul flight prices go down. During my first visit I hope to visit as many islands & places as possible on holiday and to look for suitable land & properties for sale and decide on where I would like to live permanently. I will take my time. Dauin is definitely on my list. My cash budget will be around 8-10 million Philippine pesos for land and house etc. I would love to be able to build a house to my own specifications but sadly Greg unlike yourself I know nothing about building a house or a swimming pool. Hence why I choose to buy a newly built modern Western style property or a Resale property. Greg your videos have been a great inspiration to me. Thank You. PS I have also subscribed to Alex Kosh YT channel to help with drone videos. I hope you & Wilma are having a lovely day.
Greg can you give me a ball park figure to buy a new 2023-2024 Honda City RS car or a Toyota Avios or similar car please? I will need to buy a new Honda 150cc Automatic gears scooter with a new helmet & a storage box on the back? This would be very helpful and greatly appreciated.
Dinner will be my pleasure as a thank you when and if we can meet up. 😊
Car as you described about 1 million to 1.2 million pesos and scooter about 140,000 pesos. Thanks for watching.
@@RoyMusic11111 I don’t believe you can buy land in the Philippines unless you’re married to a Filipina or have it under a corporation or something. Look into that just in case.
You are correct.
Based on my experience in the cost of living in the province outside of Davao, I can’t imagine spending more than $1,000. A month on expenses.
I agree, a normal month with no surprises, you should be able to live nicely for around $1000 usd.
Your house is looking great. Watching from Spain from Kuya Rafi
Hello from Spain. Appreciate you watching our videos.
We love your videos. I have a few specific questions about moving money for large purchases like house build and vehicle purchases. Do you have a email I can write to?
Buildingthephilippines@gmail.com
I like the location of your property guys. looking for one. ❤
any recommendation of realtor?
Thank you
Alma Almonte Fulco, she's on Facebook.
I live in Ecuador and spend almost a thousand dollars,,,400 for rent...so about 600 a month. I am single so 2 of you are doing pretty well. I don't scrimp either...
I am coming to the PI too....soon!!!
That's great, safe travels. Can live very affordable here. Thanks for watching.
Another great video. I so wish my monthly budget was that in New York. My son made meatloaf the other day and less than 3 lbs. of hamburger was $12.47. My electric amount monthly is $191...and so on and so on...very expensive living in the USA. Thanks for sharing. P.S.--I noticed all the chips, etc. you purchased Greg..lol
Hi Gloria, thanks for commenting. So expensive in the US. Amazing.
That's a sweet budget to live on. If you're not a citizen; whats the procedure regarding building a house?
Really need to be married to a Philippine citizen. Unless you buy a condo, then you can own outright.
Wow very smart couple , very genuine and real !!!. Great info Wilma and Greg , we really appreciate your honesty and great ability to track all your expenses. Keep up the great reality work in the Philippines. It shows hard work pays off . Congratulations with your retirement and may God bless you with continuance health and prosperity !!!!
Thank you and appreciate the comment. I show our costs to help our viewers with there budget constraints and concerns.
Can you talk about how you are handling medical needs/insurance? Enjoying the videos!
We are self insured, we set aside enough money for any medical emergency. That might change when we get older. Thanks for watching.
Great job with all you have been able to do and great job breaking down the budget. Couple questions....How about the property tax? I know it's annual, just curious! Do you have any family around you? (sometimes that can be an extra expense) My wife and I are kind of in the same boat and we will retire in 6 months. We built a house as well and been married 33 years.
Congrats on 33 years of marriage. Our tax is due in January. Our first tax was 75 pesos or $1.20 per year. Next year in January it will be taxed with the house on it. We were told it will go up $20. Thanks for watching.
Absolutely not cheaper to live in the Philippines this time . But if you are use to live extravagant life it’s hard , but if not ? your gonna be fine .
Thanks for watching.
Nice video! Thank you for sharing this with us. Do you have to pay property tax? What about house insurance? Lastly, did you get a drone? Take care.🤙
Hi Gary, land tax is $1.20 a year (not a typo). Did not get our house tax yet, but was told about $20 a year, so $21.20 annually. We are self insured so no medical insurance. Homeowners did not look into yet, but was told it's a waste to even attempt to insure the home. We will check though. No drone, that was done by Alex.
I just spent 350 for a nice dinner for my family. Just cost myself 2 weeks of retirement lol.
Wow, that's alot of cash. Things has gotten so expensive all over the world. Amazing.
I liked how you closed out the vlog at the end. Was the video taken by your Russian friend who visited a few weeks back?
Yes, the drone shots was taken by Alex. Thanks for watching.
Amazingly, our budget is the same when we stayed in Samal for 5 months. Our health insurance of 1500$ ( USA base) costs too much though. Good luck and very good video.
Thank you, just being self insured makes sense to us. When we get older may look into a policy. Appreciate you watching our videos.
I love laundry service but I cant have someone wash my undergarments.
Lol, I can understand that. Thanks for watching.
the water was the biggest shock to me as you have the swimming pool. Great budget. Single guy here, enjoy you sharing info. Always nice to get different perspectives. I spend your monthly budget for eating in just one week here in Texas.
Lol, USA has gotten so expensive. Such a shame. Can live much cheaper here. Thanks for watching.
Best budget video I’ve seen. Very comprehensive and informative
Thanks Mark, appreciate that.
Again thanks Greg your prices for a new car plus a scooter is very useful to me plus your house price Total has been very useful indeed. I now know that I can easily afford to relocate to the Philippines. You both are a lovely couple. Just my kind of people.
Thank you.
I hope I can get out there someday just to visit. The plane ride alone is about 2100 round trip from Dulles airport in Virginia. This flight stops in Korea and Then toCebu. I want to avoid Manila. Thanks for all the informative videos.😎
Sounds good and travel safe. Thanks for watching.
Great monthly expenses - thx for sharing. Ice cream LOL! I read below one other comment mentioning you left out in your budget being home & belongings insurance. A few other areas if I missed needing to be added would be; vehicles insurance - house/property tax. The later taxes seem a little more confusing/involved to me - what I have gathered is they evaluate the value separately for the house it' self and property and then ad these 2 calculated % together to come up with a figure - is this true? thx
Vehicle insurance goes by vehicles type and value of vehicle. $800 year one, $700 year two. Goes down each year. We don't have homeowners, will look into it (not sure it's even worth it). Taxes is one payment in January. However, our assessment has not been done yet. Municipal is in charge of assessing our entire properties worth. Our 2023 tax was 75 pesos of $1.20. Our 2024 tax we don't know. I'm guessing around $20 once we get our assessment.
@@buildingthephilippines Vehicle Ins, third party I assume? Coverage for your vehicle repairs also if damaged where as most insurance there isn't like that, only paying for repairs to the others. Cost lowering each year - wow! that's good to know, they don't lower here. I only seem to pay more every year lol! If your property tax is around $20 for the year that's VERY IMPRESSIVE! - very hard to beat that. Using these monthly calculated budget numbers you prided x 12 is close to what I pay for my current property taxes alone - LOL! Dang! I'm in the planning mode stages as I write.
& not to forget about 10,000 of that would be less cos of your 2 / 4 monthly expenses like meds - gen gas - propane
Yes, absolutely. Those expenses won't appear next month. Thanks for pointing that out for everyone.
Thanks again for your interesting and detailed channel
Your welcome, appreciate the comment.
Good for you guys, I am going to follow you to see how it goes ....
Thanks for watching us.
Hello Greg and Wilma, love your channel. You remind me of myself and my wife. We are planning to retire in the Philippines in 5 years when my step son will be 17. However, with all the terrible things going on in the United States, we may make that decision sooner. We originally thought Tay Gay Tay would be idea as I like cooler weather. but in this video you mentioned it's cooler where you are. So that caught my attention. I will try to find an email for you so I can ask more questions and get some advice. You have the best channel on the subject of the Philippines. Oh by the way, my wife is also Filipina from Samar. Watching you and Wilma is like watching us in a mirror. (Not my real photo with the war paint) LOL
Congrats on the future retirement to the Philippines. Those 5 years will go by fast. Thanks for watching our videos.
Tagaytay is an expensive place almost like Manila. If you want a cheaper one, try Negros (like this vlog) and other areas in the provinces. You can live in a $1K budget but you must not spend for unnecessary things. Focus on what are the most important ones, just like Wilma and Greg
informative video and the budget was much less than I expected. I was hoping if we relocated there , a family of 4 could life off 125k-150k per month. Your video gives me hope that its possible
Yes, once you have settled in house, transportation, furniture, all household items then really you can live pretty cheap.
Yes 100% a family of 4 could live comfortably for 125 - 150k/month no problem. 150k in Manila and 125k in the province depending on your own circumstances below. Factor in allowances for inflation which currently stands at 8% in Philippines.
I'm a single retired 56 year old and I've lived in Makati, Manila for 6 years with my 3 rescue cats. I spend about 90k php/m but I eat out a lot, not too much drinking and have a girlfriend.
Things that affect your cost of living most would be location, a need to own your own transport, how many nights out, how stuck on western food for shopping you are and any existing health issues.
I live in Makati, Manila and give you mh costs which you could reduce by 20% for the province.
For a family of 4 with say 3 bedroom house in Manila your looking at 50 -70k/m php depending on location (You may need to furnish).
The benefit of Manila is I don't need my own transport, I use taxi's which are cheap as chips, 250php for 40min journey.
Meals out you can budget 350php/pers in the day and 600php/pers at night.
I spend 5000php/m for 1 on food shopping, I buy my veggies, salad and fruit from the wet market which is 50% cheaper than supermarkets.
Healthcare is much cheaper here in the Philippines than the West but medicine can be similar costs unless you buy local drug brands.
A good planner and well-organized, outstanding couple.
Thank you, appreciate the kind words.
Hi I âm a new subscriber from California. You have a very nice place. May I know where is that beautiful place ? Thank You.
Thank you for subscribing. We are in Dauin, Negros Oriental. Southern Philippines, just above Mindanao. Appreciate you watching our videos.
Excellent breakdown. Thanks!
Thank you, appreciate it.
My budget in the Philippines is about the same.
Very nice, can live well and pretty cheap. Thanks for commenting.
擁有自己的房子當然可以減少你每月的開支，每月800至1000美元的預算你當然可以在菲律賓過得舒適。
Agree 100% much cheaper here to live. Thanks for watching.
Your expenses for the month basically my groceries for the month for me and my daughter. I'm living in a wrong country
Wow, yes food is so expensive around the world. Definitely more affordable here. Thanks for watching.
Love the video on your budget. It gives me a good idea of what to expect when I get there 😊
Yes, Steve absolutely. Can live good here for pretty cheap.
In that intro you should be so proud of the home and lifestyle you have built, it is inspirational, Goal and dreams are just that, but mean nothing without action, budgeting and planning. Great work Team.
Thank you Larry, it was a dream of ours now 12 years ago. It all came together, never waivered from the original dream. Appreciate the comment.
Amazing that adults well on in life need to be educated as though they’re just graduates out of high school or college. Sad really. They should be embarrassed to not know or consider all costs of life for today, tomorrow or the future.
Need to consider the fact that your power goes down fairly often. That’s an inadvertent way to cut electric bills.
In or on Hawaii, I think the optimum living elevation is in the 700’ above sea level range. Where as you are is always cooler than lower and not too high to always be cool. Nice breeze level.
Thanks for the comment and watching our videos.
I'm afraid of the storms.
The good news is our area is known for not getting any. Very rare.
👍✅🙀✅👍
Thanks
850 wouldn’t even cover rent where I live. You guys are getting a great deal. Two smart people that planned right for their retirement years, kudos to you two, enjoy it. You didn’t mention what you budget for medical…you said that you should budget for medical, but you didn’t elaborate, that would increase your budget. I think budgeting $100 per person each month for medical is a good middle of the ground cost. Put that money back every month and never touch it.
Thanks for the comment. We are self insured, so just have money in an account that we won't touch. Its enough to cover any major medical problem here probably times 4. Its a pay as you go society, so need money up front just to be admitted. Credit card will work as well. Great question.
@@buildingthephilippines I had a friend that had a heart procedure at University hospital in Manila and the total was almost 30k, not all medical is cheap, it depends on location and how good the hospital is. You should be putting money back, you are getting old and your body will start breaking more often and the medical attention you will need only gets worse
All true, thanks for commenting.
If I may ask, how much did your truck cost you? Thanks.
1.15 million pesos. I believe they are now 1.35 m for the same model.

Great shirt Greg!
Lol, thanks.
Salamat po
Your welcome, appreciate you watching our videos.
It’s a reasonable amount of monthly expenses. We live in Iloilo,in a town called Oton, our expenses ranges to 40-55k pesos. Once a week of treating ourselves to eat out. Most of the time I do cook. Regarding insurances, we both don’t have an insurance but we set aside an emergency funds. Our first year in Philippines I always list down our expenses but later part I get rid of it. Thanks for the good video
We spent about the same amount and go out to dinner once a week. Very similar. Thanks for watching.
It’s a delicate subject matter but I don’t hear folks discuss how much they contribute to charity.
Wilma and I have emersed ourselves in individual assistance. I have done a few videos on where we bought lots of rice for community's as well as specific poor families (rice, can goods and medicine). We did get some negative comments stating our channel was heading towards asking viewers for money. If you have watched our videos you will see that we don't. We decided to not video anymore assistance videos. Great question.
@@buildingthephilippines I’m with you guys on individual assistance, touch the folks you come in contact with or have some interactions. I enjoy watching your channel , currently living in NY
an hour north of NYC but originally from Angeles City , Pampanga. Fun to watch happy vloggers sharing life’s simple pleasures!
You don’t have to broadcast what you do for charity. Obviously it comes from the heart and not a way to show you off- oh look I give this much to get some recognition. The bigger donors don’t care and in fact don’t like to show off when it comes to their philanthropic activities.
My charity is my 15 people in my Filipino family and our Barangay community church!
55 exchange rate?! No way! 52 IF your lucky! I use an exchange of 50 when I estimating expenses or costs.
