Reading these figures
They describe a household that rents at today’s market rent, heats with natural gas and buys the healthy-diet grocery basket that the Türk-İş labour confederation prices every month. Amounts are in Turkish lira and are monthly. Prices in Türkiye move quickly: these use data as of 30 September 2026, and the page is rebuilt whenever a source publishes a new figure.
The province is priced as a whole, so a central district will cost more than the figure here and an outlying one less. How the figures are made. The same page in Turkish has more detail, including gas, water and minimum-wage pages for Van: Van yaşam maliyeti.
