Cost of Living in Jamaica - 2024

 

This list will prove helpful when travelling to the island. So you will know whether or not you are over paying for any items. The current exchange rate is JA$155.51=1$US.  I hope you find this is helpful.

I can also serve as a calculator for the consumer price index, or how much inflation has taken over the price of things in Jamaica.

If there is something else that you think I should add to the list please advise.
