Split

Split, Croatia: the weather, the air, the distance to the coast and what a month costs, each with its source. This page assesses no one.

This page describes the destination for nobody in particular. Answer a few questions and each requirement is set against your own answers, with a monthly budget for your household. Your answers stay in the address bar of your browser; nothing is stored.

How near the sea is

0.3 km

Straight-line distance from this city’s coordinates to the nearest coastline, computed from Natural Earth 1:10m Physical Vectors — Coastline (ne_10m_coastline) v5.1.2 at 1:10,000,000. Natural Earth is public domain, and anyone can download the same file and get the same number.

It is a distance and not an access. A city 8 km from the coast across a mountain ridge is not 8 km from the sea in any sense you would use, and the figure says nothing about what is on that coast — a container terminal and a bay give the same number. The coastline is the outline of the dataset’s land, so a river wide enough to separate land counts as coast.

A month here, for a reference household

Reference household: two adults aged 38 and 37, a one-bedroom home, no children.

Residence fees and health cover are those of EU/EEA free movement (register within eight days after three months). The low, middle and high figures are the 25th, 50th and 75th percentiles where a publisher states them; each line says who published it.

illustrative Money figures on this page are illustrative unless the figure names its publisher. The illustrative ones are arranged so the shape is right — a larger flat costs more than a smaller one, and the expensive cities are the expensive ones — and they are accurate in nothing. Do not plan on them.

This comparison is wider than your screen — scroll it sideways to see the remaining columns.

Line	P25 Full entry The lower quartile of the estimate range: a quarter of observations fall below it. Read it as the cheaper end of what is realistic, not as a bargain you can count on.	P50 Full entry The middle of the estimate range: half the observations fall below it and half above. It is the figure to read first — not a promise, but the most representative single number we have.	P75 Full entry The upper quartile of the estimate range: a quarter of observations fall above it. Budget against this one if you want room to be wrong.	Basis

It is the whole country: DZS states «Podaci za niže prostorne razine nisu raspoloživi», so the same figure stands in for Zagreb and for Split. Every household of every size, renting or owning — and 92.7 % of the surveyed households own their home and 73.9 % live in a house, so it leans to house-dwellers outside the cities. DZS states no household size beside it. The survey was kept in kuna; DZS converts it to euro at the fixed rate it states itself.Published per year; shown per month (÷ 12).Shown here and kept out of the ranking: the period it measures ended more than three years ago.

Groceries^*	not published	€247	not published	Average of published figuresPublished by Državni zavod za statistiku (DZS) More about this figure Adults: 2 · children: 0Measured in 2022.An average of what surveyed households actually spent — not a price anyone is charged, and it carries whatever mix of tariffs, dwellings and consumption those households had.Whose spending this is: Per person, per month, averaged over every private household in Croatia: DZS's 2022 food bill per household divided by the 2021 Census's average number of persons per private household for the Republic of Croatia. The survey's household is «svaka obiteljska ili druga zajednica osoba koje zajedno stanuju i zajednički troše svoje prihode»; the Census counted «sve osobe koje žive u istoj stambenoj jedinici». The divisor counts everyone in one dwelling, and a dwelling can hold more than one household that shares a budget, so the divisor is somewhat larger than the survey's own household and this per-person figure reads a little low. It is the national figure, not Split's, and a child is charged the same as an adult.Published per year; shown per month (÷ 12).This is the survey’s average person. Food has strong economies of scale, and the publisher states one figure per person and no split by household size — so a larger household is charged here as though each member shopped alone.3,957 EUR a year per household (2022) ÷ 2.67 people per household (2021), both published by Državni zavod za statistiku (DZS); the household size is the publisher’s household statistic, which counts everyone living in one dwelling, not the survey’s ownShown here and kept out of the ranking: the period it measures ended more than three years ago.

Split More about this figure Adults: 2Measured in 2026.A price the publisher states is in force, not a statistic about a market.What this price is for: One named adult's personalised monthly ticket for the Split–Split relation on Promet Split's urban network, from the operator's main price list in force from 1 June 2026.This is the price the publisher charges, so there is no range: the low and high figures are the price itself.
Health cover^*	€250	€250	€250	Published figurePublished by Narodne novine (službeni list Republike Hrvatske) More about this figure A premium or rate the state sets.Per member, by age bandMeasured in 2026.A price the publisher states is in force, not a statistic about a market.What this price is for: Per insured person, per month, 2026: an EEA or Swiss citizen with a registered temporary stay in Croatia who is not compulsorily insured in another Member State must register with HZZO within eight days and pay the health contribution — «… obvezan je podnijeti prijavu na obvezno zdravstveno osiguranje … te je obveznik plaćanja doprinosa za obvezno zdravstveno osiguranje» (Zakon o obveznom zdravstvenom osiguranju i zdravstvenoj zaštiti stranaca, čl. 4 st. 1 and čl. 6 st. 1, as replaced by NN 15/18). The contribution is 16,5 % (Zakon o doprinosima čl. 14 st. 1 t. 1, as amended by NN 106/18) of the monthly base the Minister of Finance publishes for a foreigner, 757,34 € in 2026 (Naredba, NN 150/2025, čl. 8, šifra 1600); a family member is charged on the same base (šifra 1700). Porezna uprava fixes each person's amount by decision. Up to twelve months are charged on registration, and after thirty days unpaid only emergency care is covered.This is the price the publisher charges, so there is no range: the low and high figures are the price itself.0.165 contribution rate × 757 EUR a month, both published by Narodne novine (službeni list Republike Hrvatske)

Statutory levies and licences^*	€11	€11	€11	Published figurePublished by Hrvatska radiotelevizija (HRT) More about this figure Per householdMeasured in 2025.A price the publisher states is in force, not a statistic about a market.What this price is for: The monthly fee one household pays the public broadcaster, as determined for 2025: "visina mjesečne pristojbe koja se plaća Hrvatskoj radioteleviziji u 2025. godini utvrđena je u iznosu od 10,62 eura." One fee per household however many receivers it holds — "Kućanstva koja u vlasništvu ili posjedu imaju dva ili više prijamnika, plaćaju jednu mjesečnu pristojbu" — and HRT counts a smartphone or a computer as a receiver. The supervisory board sets the amount annually; this is the 2025 determination, and no 2026 one was published when it was read.This is the price the publisher charges, so there is no range: the low and high figures are the price itself.
