How Saskatoon compares
How this score is calculated
The Cost of Living Score adds up a city’s typical monthly essentials — rent, groceries, transit, and utilities — and compares that total to the average across the Canadian cities we track. A city at the average scores around 50; cheaper cities score higher, pricier ones lower. Higher always means more affordable.
Sources: Rent from CMHC Fall 2024 one-bedroom averages (Saskatoon CMA); groceries from Canada's Food Price Report 2025, lightly interpolated for SK; transit is the Saskatoon Transit adult monthly pass; utilities blend SaskPower/SaskEnergy and CRTC internet pricing. Figures are typical city-level estimates for a one-person household, not a personal budget, and shift over time.
