The prices mentioned on this site about Luxembourg are correct, except for avg monthly salary, which is more around 4800 EUR.
Quality of life is superb here, just like the southwest of Germany and west of the Netherlands where we also lived.
I currently live in Spain and I am thinking of relocating to Luxembourg. I studied business administration. I’m from Nigeria but I am a Spanish citizen. I would like to know if is easy to get a job of my field and how much is the pay just an estimate would be fine.
For 1 Month.
i didn't consider the cost of a private school. In Luxembourg City there are english based public schools with no tuition fees.
3500 x 0.75 (there are tax benefits for children and non working partner, it might be underestimated)= 2625
-1500 for an apartment (including utilities): 1125
-800 for groceries and related items (in Germany)= 325
-200 for other general expenses= 125 (disposable income)"....
How...if school for one child is 1.260 eur?
The monthly income is around 4.500€ and I want to know if this can be ok for 4 people. We plane to rent an apartment with 2 bedroomsmy wife speak German, could be easy to find something?
Also how much is the kindergarten there .
How much will I pay in tax with a gross salary of 50K. I am a single person and will be moving in Luxembourg in a few months. Thanks
I need to know how income tax is applied given that my family (wife and children) is settled in Italy (wife has a job).
Do I get tax deductions for children even though they live in a different country in the EU?
Any idea about family and/or children allowances in my case?
The second factor as i explained in a previous comment is especially important, in the current situation for non eu citizens who are not sponsored by a company or don't have the graduate visa it's really hard to find a job.
It depends, for a single person, your budget could be like this: you'll spend around 650-900 for a decent room. If you cross the border to Germany in order to buy groceries and general items, you could end up spending close to 350-400. Let's leave 100 euros for cellphone, healthcare, and other general expenses. Therefore your budget will be as follows:
3500 x 0.7 (your taxes could be around 30%, it might be an overestimation though)= 2450.
-900 for a room= 1550.
-400 for groceries and related items= 1150
-100 for other general expenses= 1050. (disposable income)
For a family of three or four with no one else working, the situation changes:
3500 x 0.75 (there are tax benefits for children and non working partner, it might be underestimated)= 2625
-1500 for an apartment (including utilities): 1125
-800 for groceries and related items (in Germany)= 325
-200 for other general expenses= 125 (disposable income)
Yes..The transportation is free with bottomless drinks and lunch inside the bus. The taxi free also if you want to travel all Luxembourg for a day. Just ask the taxi driver and he will be happy to stroll with you.
Hello, You will live like a queen with that salary in Lux.
Hi..You'll get the job that you want as soon as you landed in Lux.
Am planning to immigrate to Luxembourg soon, what are the chances for me to get there, also securing a job, how easy is it going to be
Luxembourg probably is the first country in Europe that have free mass(public) transport system in a country. So ticket prices may be now obsolete.
Thanks!!
is 60,000 gross salary per year (i understand is around 3500 net income per month) enough for a family of 4 (my wife and I and 2 children age 6-10)?
is it cheaper/possible to live outside Luxemburgo in another country and commute every day
