Cost of Living in Belgrade

China and Serbia visit each other's countries which is normal.White lung has killed over 112 million in China so far this year.Theres no cure for white lung death is imminent within 4 days or less.Upside being Serbians will become extinct shortly a big bonus.By years end over 700 million are expected to die in China

Love serbian food & happy-minded and admirable serbians to all international guests, good luck and prosperity to the nation

Americans have an old saying its only mind over matter because you don't matter to us.

Real average net salary in Belgrade is 350-400e (41000-50000din.)

Serbia has been on a downward spiral for years now and it isn't getting any better I'm from Belgrade.The amounts of money given by people aren't correct. If the Serbian government would care enough to understand the pay scale overall isn't adequate to live comfortably things would be much better for everyone.

Average net salary for Belgrade was 75649 RSD in november 2020 and not 61617 RSD.

No matter what country anyone is from there'll never be peace amoung people because they want to represent their ideals of their country upon others and expect them to agree which will never happen.Many people may think the pandemic worldwide is a terrible thing and it is in certain ways.But one thing is for certain it has forcefully made people around the world to distance themselves from each other.Travel has been highly restricted worldwide too.No matter where anyone is from or what their status is in life another thing is a reality. The pandemic has truly alienated people and cultures from each other which is just the beginning of the new normal.Although costs of living are important to everyone throughout life there's a new need presented it's called survival.

Actually I've visited Serbia three times in the last 5 years, I found it affordable, I agree with some previous comments that there is some stereotype or a propaganda which promote Eastern Europe as a bad place, there is many Eastern European countries who have developed and managed to build a good economy such as Poland which is located in central Europe, where Poland used to be in the past and where they are in the present time, Italy France and Spain are suffering from bad economy, I don't speak Serbian but I managed to find few nice and friendly Serbian people who were kind and warm, I think Serbia deserves a chance to develop and move forward, I am thinking with my partner to open a small size business in Serbia, I don't know much people in Serbia but I would like to make new friends

CHEAP HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I live in Serbia and so many things are expensive
If there is a thing for 300$ in Serbia it would cost 400$

If one man is eating meat and another man is eating cabbage, they are eating sarma on average

How much paid for a skilled/unskilled construction worker in Belgrade?

A blok 3000 eur. Zemun 2200+ to buy 1m2 of apartment.!!!!

Average salary in Belgrade is 600€/mo, and in few neighbourhoods it's over 700€/mo.

People working in IT/or for foreign enterprises, banking sector make over 1,000€ without doubt.

I was reading some of the comments and can't believe what I am reading. I used to live in Serbia and miss it every day. It is truth that Western Europeans think of the whole 'Eastern Europe' including Serbia as a bad place, but it is only due to propaganda. People are brainwashed to believe that they are better there. On the contrary, their people (I live in the G. Britain and will return to live in Serbia as soon as I can) are lacking basic education and some of the natives speak English worse than anybody who has finished Grammar school in Serbia. There is nothing better in great Britain but the amount of money you earn. Food is rubbish, people are robots who get drunk every weekend in a pub so they can stand their meaningless little lives. People in Serbia are lovely, polite and friendly and I think that some of the people there don't know how lucky they are to be there. I know many people want to leave because of bigger salaries and opportunities for work, but quality of life is so much better in Serbia because what you have there cannot be bought with money. I wasn't lucky to be able to stay and find work in Serbia, but I hope that this will change in the future.

Numbers numbers numbers people can calculate and put incorrect numbers out there all day.Salarys even within the same company for the same jobs can and normally are different pay because it all depends upon skill levels and actually the astetics ie attractiveness of the employee being male or female hired.The anonymous post July 24 is just putting numbers out there but once again calculating pay scales is impossible.

The average salary posted for Belgrade, is average salary for Serbia. In Belgrade region, average salary in 2019 was 576 eur, which is 67,864 RSD.

There is no point relying on any open discussion about Serbia on whole internet. That Country is surrounded by so many "forum psychopaths", that one's gonna end up reading all sorts of disgusting words against anything comes from there, and end up with no conclusion or with the wrong one. I suggest, if you're open minded, to go to any country. All of them are good. Serbia is cheap, Belgrade too if you shop around, as anywhere else, it's high on the food, drinks and night life scale. What else do we need?

Things may improve but it's doubtful especially since many from small towns left Belgrade for economic reasons.If monthly saleries would increase to RSD 65k throughout Serbia the economy would turn around quickly on a positive note.It'll take time if that happens but it won't happen soon.

I've read so many comments on Numbeo and the majority of them are negative as to salaries and different opinions according to how life is.Theres no such thing as the perfect salary, never will be.Numbeo is a format asking others to be truthful about current costs of living, and that's something everyone should appreciate because honest input is essentially needed,atleast that's how I feel it should be.Instead of contributors just putting numbers out there try to make them accurate because it helps everyone.Numbeo is about cost of living not life experiences, remember that too. Thank you

# Anton Grosic Yes there's alot of trolls here, maybe you're one too maybe not.It remains to be seen the level of low pay which is a reality for the majority of Serbs.Eastern Europe is spinning out of control just as Western Europe with low wages.There's nothing to look forward to even the youth simply because the government is moving backwards not forwards.Painting a Rosey picture as you've done is easy but when Serbs look at their wages the cost of living doesn't match the wages people receive.My brother is a mechanical engineer,his pay very low.Hes been trying to get a work visa for the U S for almost two years now.He's highly qualified,a professional.The U S keeps on rejecting his applications for a visa.My brothers friends say the same.Europe and the European Union should've treated the U S better over the years but they didn't.The U S has walked away from all of Europe and honestly I don't blame them.

Numbeo gives the net monthly salary after taxes.510eur 600eur to 700eur in New Belgrade net per month? Sorry to burst your bubble# Nicole but I have a professional position in New Belgrade,a doctor of 16 years,a specialist.My brother lives in Western Europe, salaries there aren't calculated before taxes.I don't know which official statistics you're speaking about other than your own.The information you provided isn't correct by any means.Let Numbeo calculate salaries and listen to people that actually live in Belgrade instead of giving false salaries and other information as you've done.My net pay after taxes averages between 480 to 550 each month tops.I know general workers that make half of that each month net.How do I know that? Because their patients of mine and I extend them credit after looking at their monthly salary from their employers.

Hey Gory just asking me if I'm from Albania or Kosovo says you're just like all of the other losers in Serbia.Take your narrow minded tiny little dick down your rat hole because that's all your needle dick could ever satisfy,a rat. Abigail

@Anonimus - Man, you are a total idiot and I am sure you know that. My name is Goran, not short for anything. What is your name and where are you from? Albania, Kosovo???
But, even if you go to Serbia from time to time, which I doubt, why you do that if you hate it so much? It is obvious that you are a CNN type of idiot since your comments are completely removed from reality. For you, and those like you, Serbia is land of good , kind people. Inform yourself before you start embarrassing yourself even though you are not using your real name. So, go back to your rat hole where you belong!

@Anonymous -
There are so many 'Anonymous' comments here so it is hard to answer some of them. But, one of these 'Anonymous' (comment dated February 28th) is obviously very miserable and unhappy with being in Serbia. Why don't you leave and go some place where you will be happy. Besides, your nonsense comments about US and Russia in relations to events is Serbia are so ridiculous. US has inflicted damage to Serbia worth billions of $$ and now they are 'helping' for free??
He said - 'Serbia is nothing more than a shithole, literally, just as their people are, let Serbia rot no other countries care'.
I wonder if even a mother could love an idiot of this magnitude? My condolences to your mother, wherever she is.

As somebody said a graduated IT junior worker will agreed to work in IT outsourcing web developing jobs here even for 200 euro a month for 150 working hours which is about only 1.3 euro an hour starting hourly rate if you give him/her a proper accomodation-a room with all facilities and free food.

Renting a house in suburbs of Belgrade area is an excellent idea for foreign entrepreneurs coz you can put 2 people on site in 2 separate rooms and an additional 3rd room is an official office.That way people here do not travel to work and they work to the maximum coz they have everything free of charge(accommodation+food) and a salary.90% of IT professionals and in my own opionon highly skilled IT professionals in Belgrade are coming from undeveloped small cities outside Belgrade from undeveloped areas in country and they are agreed to work for 200-250 euro any IT outsourcing task with accommodation/food provided.

Accommodation in suburbs is about 50 euro per person per room in 3-4 bedroom house and the food is about 100 euro from cheap online food distributors they bring the food at your doors without any additional cost per worker to fill up their freezer so they can cook and take as much as they want.The pain is you have to deal with Serbian language.Almost 95% of online services are in Serbian and Google translate option doesn't help a lot since you will get wrong translation due to high complexity of Serbian/Slavic language.

So in all 250 euro is a cost to rent for a large 3 bedroom house in suburs+200 euro per IT worker+200 euro per additional IT worker with free room and food provided+100 euro per person for food,that's all about 850 euro a month for a large fully furnished house,2 workers on site per month all expenses.Setting up your business in centre of city is 300% more expensive anywherea between 1500-2000 euro.

Those 2 IT workers can make about anything between 2-5 thousands euro in outsourced IT projects to rich EU and USA countries with foreign IT manager/local company(DOO)owner who is native english/german/french/scandinavian speaker.

Public transport in Belgrade sucks unfortunatelly.In order to manage Belgrade public transport you need a local people to assist you,the service and quality of buses and trams are out of any comments.

Usual salary in private sector is 170-250 euro a month.In public sector much higher about 400 euro but that's for vip people reserved.Shops,bars,shopping malls,social activities are great.Many Serbian people from smaller places invest their savings in Belgrade's tourism industry and activities for EU tourists.It is a city to relax and to forget all your worries but you must find some relieble and honest people before you come.

A city has many fake real estate agents and fake tourist guider.Be aware of unregistered airport's taxi drivers.

Do not enter into any taxi on Belgrade's airport.

Get a bus no 72/A1 which are passing each 10 minutes.

The bus 72/A1 ticket is less than a euro/80 eurocents.

If you get a fake taxi from airport they will charge you 100 or 150 euro for 20 km half an hour drive from airport to the centre ,once you arrive in centre of city.One of the most bad experience with tourists in Belgrade are unregistered and fake taxi drivers on Belgrade's airport.Be aware of them and do not trust them any word they say to you.

Be aware of many scammers although majority of people if very honest and they will assist you free of charge.The best rule to have a good time in Belgrade is to first find local honest people from FB or similiar social network to wait for you on airport then to come.

A friend of mine is renting a fully furnished house in Zeleznik area which is about 17 km from centre of Belgrade for 170 euro a month,3 bedrooms 85 m2-900 square feet total space,large kitchen,balcony and a guard dog in yard with frequent bus lines you're in less than 20 minutes in the centre of city.Each room is fully furnished with central heating and he has plenty of trees,greens and fresh air around.Utility bills are about 50 euro a month in summer time increasing up to 80 euro in winter snowy time for all house not per room,but not more than that.In all for =250 two hundred fifty euro for a fully furnished house 85m2/900sqf with all utility bills included in winter time/220 euro in a summer.There are 4 persons there staying and paying each 60 euro per person for 30 days in month of staying,that's 2 euro a day with all bills included.
Finding houses in suburbs of Belgrade is much easier and 2-3 times cheaper than in centre of city.One of them is from England and he says nobody had asked him anything about permision of stay or similiar papers unlike renting a house in England or Netherlands or Germany.He just gave the money to the landlord/owner and he got a house key after 15 minutes of inspection of house.No hassles no deposits no stupit bureaucracy like in EU.He works there as a native english teacher part time 3-4 hours a day and he makes about 50-60 euro a day after one on one english clasess to the local low age young students from rich Belgredian families who are lookgin especially for native English teacher,billed on hourly basis about 12-15 euro per 2 persons by table.His wife is about to come soon.He says he enjoyed in Belgrade for last couple of months like never in his life in boring England.After giving english classed he spends his 50 euro a day salary in Belgrade pubs and sightseeing all day.No taxes on that income.Nothing.
