How this is calculated
The food-cost index (VanBasket/World Bank ICP) is a real relative index, not an absolute price — converting it into a meal price needs one anchor, and $15 is used as a disclosed, commonly-cited rough global-average restaurant-meal price, the same kind of transparent assumption used throughout our other calculators.
Frequently asked questions
How much does a restaurant meal cost in Cambodia?
About $13.44, based on a real food-cost index of 89.6 (world average = 100) applied to a disclosed $15 world-average-meal anchor. At a $5,000/month example income, that's roughly 372 meals affordable per month.
Why isn't this iPhone or Starbucks pricing?
No free source publishes real per-country consumer prices for specific products or brands — so rather than guessing, this uses the real, published food-cost index converted into restaurant-meal terms, which is the closest thing to a verifiable "shopping power" figure that real data actually supports.
