2025 Living Wage Report: Living Wage Report for Rural Atlantic and North Huetar Regions, Costa Rica
Abstract
This report estimates a living wage for rural areas of the Atlantic and North Huetar regions of Costa Rica for 2025 using the Anker Methodology®, and replaces the previous benchmark conducted for these regions in 2017. Our estimate of the living wage for a full-time worker as of May 2025 is CRC 450,734 (USD 886), considering the 13-month payment (Aguinaldo). This amount is based on the cost of a basic but decent living standard for a reference family of four people, consisting of two adults and two children, of CRC 708,724 per month (USD 1,393).
