Costa Rica Finance is an educational publication that explains the numbers behind life in Costa Rica: household budgets, property ownership costs, banking terms, exchange-rate concepts and financial preparation for a move. It starts with simple tools you can use yourself. Edited by Joshua ten Brink.
We are not financial advisers, accountants, lawyers or a bank. Every page is marked pending financial, tax and legal review until a qualified reviewer has checked it; reviewed pages will show the reviewer’s name, credentials and date. We do not invent rates, prices, savings or returns, and we cite dated official sources where we quote a rate or a rule.
