When it comes to food, local groceries are reasonably priced, and dining out at inexpensive restaurants is also quite affordable. However, dining at mid-range to high-end restaurants can be more expensive. Public transportation in Incheon is efficient and affordable, with options ranging from buses to subways. Taxis are also available but can be more costly.

Education, particularly international schooling, can be quite expensive. Overall, the cost of living in Incheon is lower than in Seoul, the capital of South Korea, but it can still be considered high compared to other countries in Asia.
