Cost of Living in Korea
How much money will you need for your stay in Incheon, South Korea? The tables below serve only as a guide, and are not exhaustive. They do not include other costs like books, laptops, bedding and winter clothing. Cost of living rates are also affected by inflation.
While we do receive a generous monthly stipend (24 months for ThM students, and 30 months for PhD students), you may still need additional funds for your time as a student, and we want to help you make an informed decision as a prospective student. How much you spend in the end will depend on the type of lifetsyle you want to live.
Occasionally, some students may receive additional financial support through church attachments and internships. Groceries (such as rice, eggs, canned tuna and spam) may also be supplied intermittently through the support of various private donors. (updated as of Nov, 2025)
