Foreword to the 2016 Edition
We published the first edition of the Mexico Cost of Living Guide in 2009, and it
has been updated every year since then. Over the course of these years we have
endeavored to enhance each new edition with additional information to help our
readers make considered estimates of the amount of money they’ll need to
support a lifestyle of their choice in Mexico.
This comprehensively-revised eighth edition encompasses feedback from our
readers, new features, and an improvement to the way we present grocery prices,
making it more useful for people who want to know what their regular shopping
items are likely to cost in Mexico.
The 2016 Guide to the Cost of Living in Mexico enables you to assess what it will
cost to pursue your lifestyle choices in Mexico, and provides a valuable research
tool as you form your plans and budget.

Introduction to the 2016 Edition
“How much will it cost to live in Mexico?’
This is one of the first questions asked by people planning to live, work, or retire in
Mexico—whether they plan to do so part-time, or full-time. The precise answer
varies widely and depends upon your lifestyle choices and expectations.
This eighth edition of the Guide to the Cost of Living in Mexico reflects readers’
feedback of previous editions and offers a number of enhancements that will
better enable you to calculate your living costs in Mexico.
The guide enables you to obtain a deeper understanding about the practical costs
of day-to-day living in Mexico and to estimate the cost of living based on your
individual situations and lifestyle expectations, aiding you to assemble a considered
estimate of what your annual living costs in Mexico are likely to be and build a
personalized budget tailored to your individual circumstances.
This 2016 Mexico Cost of Living Guide explains, in detail, the prices and costs for a
wide range of products and services that most foreign residents and those visiting
Mexico for extended periods will seek to purchase when they live here. It also
includes a number of overlooked costs which people often forget to include in
their budgets, sometimes with significant consequences when the actual costs are
compared with prior estimates.
We’ve completely revised our supermarket prices table in this edition to make it
more practical and useful. Instead of listing hundreds of items by category we’ve
created a “Grocery Basket” that contains a wide range of groceries and over-thecounter pharmaceuticals we tend to buy on a regular basis. The new Grocery
Basket documents prices recorded in January 2016, as well as historical prices from
the last two years, so you can get a feel for how prices of grocery items are
changing in Mexico.
The guide you’re reading also features typical costs across a wide range of other
essential items often used by foreign residents in Mexico, including
accommodations, utilities, transport, fuel, and communications.

We’ve added additional product groups for this 2016 edition and the resources
section has been enhanced so that you can undertake further detailed research for
prices of goods like clothes, electrical items, home appliances, and financial
services.
There are wide variations in living costs when you’re living in Mexico, depending
on your lifestyle choices, where you choose to live in Mexico, and how you go
about acquiring the things you buy. The guide also examines which areas in
Mexico are more and less expensive to live in.
Foreign currency markets have been in a state of flux over the last year. The US
dollar has increased in value against a basket of other world currencies—including
Mexico’s peso. This edition includes a section about this topic and explains what
recent currency value fluctuations mean in US dollar terms, as well as for those
whose income or savings are based in Canadian dollars, British pounds, and Euros.
This latest edition offers a comprehensive lifestyle planning tool for anyone who
wants to know about living costs and how prices are changing in Mexico. It will
help you to compose a budget based on your personal circumstances and
understand what present-day living costs are likely to be for you in Mexico.

Mexico’s Economy, At-A-Glance
From official economic data and experts’ estimates gathered in January 2016
Currency: Mexican peso (100 centavos = 1 peso). For Exchange Rates and other
useful information see the guide to Money in Mexico on Mexperience.
Population: 119.5 million in 2015 (Source: INEGI)
GDP: Mexico’s Gross Domestic Product is around US$1 trillion. GDP growth in
2016 is expected to be about 2.6%, a slight improvement over 2.5% in 2015.
Increases in employment and low inflation were behind the growth of the past
year. The Mexican peso’s depreciation against the US dollar has also helped
consumption by increasing the amount of pesos that Mexicans receive in
remittances from relatives who live in the U.S. Whether consumption holds up in
2016 could depend a lot on how the U.S. economy performs, as Mexico’s industrial
sector relies heavily on sales to the U.S. Oil, remittances to Mexico from Mexicans
working abroad, tourism and exports of manufactured goods are currently
Mexico’s prime sources of foreign income.
Inflation: The official inflation rate in December 2015 was recorded at 2.1%, the
lowest ever for a calendar year, and a significant decline from the 4.2% rate
recorded in December 2014. In 2016 it’s expected to be ~3%, in line with the Bank
of Mexico’s permanent inflation target.
Mexico’s Current Sales Tax Rate: Sales tax in Mexico is known as IVA, Impuesto al
Valor Agregado, or Value Added Tax (VAT). The national rate is 16% for the entire
country after recent tax reforms did away with the lower 11% rate along the border
starting Jan. 1, 2014. Most goods and services, including financial service charges
and commissions (and also includes interest on unsecured debts) have the 16% VAT
rate applied to them. Notable items which are currently exempt from IVA include
staple foods, and medicines.
Minimum Daily Wage: The official daily minimum wage in Mexico for 2016 rose
by 4.2%, slightly more than inflation. The increase was identical to that in 2015
(4.2%). The minimum salary is now $73.04 Mexican pesos (US$4.05) per working
day. The variation in minimum salary by ‘Geographic Zone’ was abolished in 2015,
and so $73.04 pesos is now a national rate.

Principal Economic Activities: Oil and gas, tourism, exports of manufactured
goods, mining, chemicals, iron and steel, motor vehicles, agriculture (coffee, sugar,
tomatoes, avocados, tobacco), food and beverages, and consumer durables.
Major Trading Partners: USA, Canada, United Kingdom, China, Japan.
NAFTA: Mexico is a member of NAFTA (North American Free Trade Agreement).
Other Free Trade Agreements: In addition to NAFTA, Mexico has Free Trade
Agreements with over 40 countries worldwide including The European Union, and
Japan.

Editor’s Notes about the Pricing Data
Prices in the 2016 guide
The prices quoted in this guide were researched and gathered during January
2016. Some prices (like fixed telephone lines) have the same cost regardless of
where you live in Mexico. The prices for groceries and pharmaceuticals quoted in
the Mexico Grocery Basket are from prices offered in Mexico City.
Prices for many items and services can vary depending upon where you live in
Mexico. Mexico City is one of the more expensive areas, although stores in remote
towns and on islands might charge more for food and grocery items than bigger
towns and cities, because the cost of distribution is higher and there is less local
competition.
Prices in the Mexico Grocery Basket exclude any temporary discounts or multibuy promotions which might have been in force at the time. By law, shelf prices in
Mexico include the country’s 16% sales tax rate, where this is applicable to the
product; so if shelf prices in your home country exclude sales tax you’ll need to
add-on your local sales tax rate to get a fair price comparison for these.
The effect of Mexico’s falling peso
Throughout this guide we have reported prices in Mexican pesos, with US dollar
equivalents in brackets alongside them. In this 2016 edition, the guide uses a
fixed exchange rate of 18 Mexican pesos to 1 US dollar.
Global events which began in the autumn of 2014—related to falling oil prices and
an increase in the value of the US dollar—caused the Mexican peso to depreciate
by about 14% against the US dollar in 2015, ending the year at $17.21, and has
recently slid further to trade well over 18 pesos for each US dollar. The Mexican
Peso Report that begins on page 18 of this guide explains the situation in detail.
While those living in Mexico and earning in US dollars (e.g. pensioners living in
Mexico with US-denominated investments) may experience a ‘discount’ in their
everyday living costs (or, put another way, their purchasing power in Mexico may
increase), there are two factors which need to be taken into account: first, the fees
associated with foreign currency exchange; and second, if you’re earning in a
2016 Guide to the Cost of Living in Mexico | Mexperience.com
Page | 12
foreign currency other than the US dollar, then your foreign currency ‘gain’ will be
lower than the recent peso-dollar devaluation as the US dollar has risen against a
basket of major currencies which includes the Canadian dollar and the British
pound (see the Mexican Peso Report in this guide for details about this aspect of
currency exchange).
Prices of imported goods
Prices for some imported or international goods and services (Apple smartphones
and tablet computers are prime example), have already experienced a rise in their
peso-equivalent price to compensate for the stronger US dollar. Official data show
that prices of many basics (for example, rents, local food, and transport) remain
stable. However, if pressure continues on the Mexican peso, certain imported
items like some electrical goods, technology, and clothes will likely rise in response
to the peso’s lower value against the dollar.
A note about seasonal prices
The prices of fresh fruit and vegetables quoted in the Mexico Grocery Basket
reflect the market prices being asked for those goods at modern supermarkets in
January 2016. The price of these fresh foods varies substantially depending on the season,
the weather, crop yields, and other factors such as wider international market demand for
Mexico’s fresh produce lines. A drop in supply can lead to a sudden increase in prices,
and a glut of any particular crop in a given season can lead to a remarkable fall in
price.
Local markets versus supermarkets
The prices quoted in this guide have been sourced from Walmart/Superama
supermarkets. Lower prices for food, especially fresh food, may be found at local
markets: either the open-air type, known as tianguis or the local mercado, often
situated inside a building specially made to host market stalls and situated near the
center of town.

Summary of Price Changes 2015-2016
The prices of goods in the 2016 Mexico Grocery Basket includes prices we
recorded a year ago for the same item, in January 2015. New in this edition, we’ve
also added the price of the items from two years ago, so you can now use this guide
to see how grocery prices have changed over a three year period in Mexico.
The Mexico Grocery Basket is organized into categories and we have sub-totaled
each section (category) which gives additional insight into which types of products
have been rising and falling in price in Mexico.
Due to the fall in the value of Mexico’s peso over the last ~18 months, the prices in
US dollar terms will be about 15% less than last year.
It’s important to note that, while most food staples sourced in Mexico will not rise in
price due to the recent devaluation, some food items, especially imported food
and drink, processed foods, and luxury foods, are likely to rise in price (if they
have not already done so).
You can see the full updated list of tracked items in the 2016 Mexico Grocery
Basket beginning on page 61 of this guide.
Price Analysis of Mexico Grocery Basket
The Mexico Grocery basket includes a wide range of products most foreign
residents tend to buy from supermarkets regularly and thus makes it easier and
more practical to assess the prices of a typical grocery shop in Mexico. The basket
includes the prices recorded in January 2016, as well as historical prices for the
same goods recorded in January 2015 and January 2014—so you can get an
indication of how prices are changing in Mexico.
Notable Price DECREASES in the Grocery Basket
Notable price decreases in 2016 compared to the 2015 price survey include: limes;
watermelon; chicken; eggs; cooked ham; oatmeal; corn flour; sun block; and
disinfectant.

Mexico Grocery Basket 2016
New in this 8th edition of the guide is the Mexico Grocery Basket, which replaces
the previous table of prices we tracked and published. This year we have worked
to sharpen the focus of the items we track to make the ‘basket’ more relevant and
easier to use for budgeting purposes.
The 2016 Mexico Grocery Basket focuses instead on ~100 items which most
foreign residents living in Mexico tend to purchase on a very regular basis. This
approach thus shows the price of a typical “full shop” in Mexico.
By honing-in on essential groceries and pharmaceuticals, we’ve been able to
remove very similar items, and items which are not purchased very frequently or
which are of very low value from this curated list. For example, the previous list
contained two deodorants; one masculine and one feminine, even thought they
were the same price. We’ve also removed items like salt and pepper which are very
low value and thus don’t influence overall living costs.
We’ve retained the sub-totals by category so you can see how different types of
products are changing in price.
New this year, we’re publishing historical prices for each item going back two years
(giving three years of prices in total), so you can see how grocery prices in Mexico
have been changing over time.
The price equivalent in US dollars is worked out using $18 Mexican pesos for each
US dollar, based on the 2016 shelf price in pesos for each item.
