Your comparison

Monthly references are shown in EUR when a suitable dated conversion is available. The original figure, currency, unit and source remain beside each amount.

Check coverage before totals. Household averages and individual components do not make a complete personal budget. Weekly references use 52 ÷ 12; annual references use ÷ 12. No figure is adjusted for inflation.
