I’m planning a move and want to know if my salary will stretch farther here.
How does the cost of living in Bardhaman compare to Kolkata?
1 Answer
Bardhaman generally has lower living expenses than Kolkata. Rent for a one‑bedroom apartment in the city center averages about 30% less, and grocery prices are typically 10–15% lower. Utilities, transportation, and dining out also cost less, though some specialty items may be pricier due to transportation costs. Overall, a salary that covers basic needs comfortably in Kolkata should allow for a modest lifestyle in Bardhaman, with additional savings for discretionary spending.
