I pay rent 700 hundred including utilities, internet 26per month, travel often in cities around. manage to save 600-700 per month.
Work in Austria for about 4years never had a problem with not speaking german. I work in two companies where i was THE ONLY one who didnt speak german. So far havent had any problem.
about the cost of living in Vienna, i earn over two thousand Euro a month and i am renting a government owned apartment. as long as you dont live so luxuriously like a millionaire, with that salary, i can still save something.
I have a query here; please help me out with your answers
I have a job offer which would pay me 2200€ net per month in Vienna, I would be coming alone. So how much would it cost on average for an individual on monthly expenses including accommodation, food and travel in Vienna. How about renting an individual house with one bedroom.
Is it correct salary for Consultant for system administrator job in Vienna ?
Please explain Austria visa D detail,
Would this amount be enough, how much is enough to live with out any problem and with out any sacrifices?
Please post your answers soon. Thanks in advance

Most of these people are racist & who ever goes there they think that you're gonna suck they're blood.
And also any one want to buy fruit in vienna you can go reumanplatz station and go to turkish bazaar and etsan supermarket its much cheaper to buy many things.
For your city transportation use weekly or monthly tickets.
Do not sign in fitinn gym . It will charge you for year incase if you don't use it still they will charge you. Use mcfit gym because you can signin for month.
Lidel and billa and penny is better for shopping.
Email me any question at tenrado@yahoo.com for whom wants to stay for 6 month or less

i am relocating to vienna with a 3400euros salary with accomodation paid for. i have a 10 year old that speaks english and swedish. we would preferrably want her to go to an english school or international school. anyone with idea of where we can find one, and preferrably close to OSCE HQ? what are the prices for apartments near school or in between school and OSCE? thank you so much in advance for your contribution.

Supporting a family of three with 2000 euros is definitely possible, although you won't live in luxury. Students generally live on around 700-1000 euros a month, while the median income is around 1300 per month. renting a 2-bedroom apartment in the centre should be around 1200 euros, so that leaves you 800 for other expenses per month.
@Sekhar:
living alone on 2200 is definitely very comfortable. rent for a 1-bedroom apartment including bills should be less than 1000 euros, so you have more than enough for other expenses. public transport ticket is 365€ for the whole year and you really don't need a car.
Shall be thankful to you for this favour
At what university are u studying?

I'm wondering if you can help me out with these questions:
I want to study in Vienna with my wife and my doughter who has 2 years, how much does it cost living there per month?
The university has promised to pay me around 2000 euros per mounth with this money, can I live normally and without problem?

What are you (they) mean by 14 x 5500....what do you mean by 13rd and 14th month.. I saw also in the clauclator as 13th and 14th month are high salary.. how do they count ?
sorry you had such problems but i hardly ever meet people from/in vienna who do not speak english, friends from english speaking countries who wanted to learn german here had problems to learn german because everybody no matter where could and wanted to speak english with them
i'm guessing it's brutto which would make netto: 3.168,51 € (12x) 4.324,68 € (1x) and 4.598,77 € (1x)
on this site you can calculate your netto income:
https://bruttonetto.arbeiterkammer.at/
this already includes health care for you and your family
living will cost about 800-1200 plus 150 for heating and warm water depending on where you want to live and how much space you will need -i'm guessing 3rooms (1living 2bedrooms)
you will still have about 2000 euros left per month plus 13th and 14th "month" which is quite good (with this income you'd be middle-class)
i'm not calculating a car, i don't have one, so i don't know how much that will cost(rather expensive usually flats do not have a garage!)
fortunatly in vienna public transport is excellent! a one year ticket costs 365 EUR per person
i've been living in vienna for mor than 10 years, i studied here and since 5 years i work here, my partner also works, we could live well enough with 1 income(each of our incomes are less than your would be income 2000&2500netto) but we don't have kids
#S.Dwane on Sep 05, 2014 :
I received a job offer for around 77k (14x5500).
Is this enough to survive in Vienna with a wife and small child (2 years old)? My wife will not work (at least not from the beginning).
Thanks.

Hey Mr. S! I moved to Vienna just some 6 months ago, but I think I may be of help (being student living on tight budget, knowing all the prices, expenses and so on). I must admit I chuckled a bit at your question (no bad intention there)! I don't know where are you coming from, but with month salary of 5500€, you may as well "live like a king" here haha I don't know what kind of life you are used to, but let's say you could rent a very nice and spacy center-located flat, buy lots of quality food from supermarkets, get some nice clothes every month, pay the car insurance every month and so on. Unless you're used to very luxurious life, you should be more than fine!
On other side, if the 5500€ salary is brutto, which would leave you with about 3000€ (I guess) of netto salary per month, you could still live nice and without bigger worries, though not in middle of the centre (but you'd still be not so far away).
Even when the both partners are working, I dare to say they that in lot of the cases total income would be well under 5500€ (again, if we're talking about netto), and even if it was brutto, you'd still be in the group of people with quite average household income (not to mention you only have a one child, and a little one for that matter, so the expenses for he/she are not as big as they would be for a teenager).
Bottom line - you really shouldn't worry! Brutto or netto, your life should vary between good and very good.
I hope I was helpful! All the best to you and your family, N.

As many of travellers to Vienna say, transportations are accelerant in the city.
If you travel to Vienna, unlike many countries in Asia, you will find people in Vienna so serious, no smiles and no welcomes in supermarkets, and in shopping. No one seems to know English (or do not want to communicate in English). Every where, driving signs, food products in supermarkets, etc, all are in German language. If you need to ask questions in English language, you should only ask from foreigners who live there.
When you go around, it looks the Vienna people do not like foreigners or do not like tourists.
There are a lot of people from Turkey, Arabic countries (Egypt, Syria, ...), Rwanda, Bosnia, Croatia, Albania, Romanian, Pakistani, Iranian, Indian... are living in Vienna. Many of them are working mostly as own business.
Jobs that are easier to find are in Billa and such grocery stores. Segregaiton per nationality is common here. Even foreigners segragate foreigners although there are great foreign groups to hang out with.
Bureaucrecy is huuuuge, takes ages to have smth finalized. It´s the most bureaucratial country on the planet. Many papers are required and noone wants to speak english so you need to be well prepared. In smaller towns is easier but in Vienna is hard.
Headhunting companies are horrible and unprofessional, they´ll hardly ever find you a job. If they don´t match you with the first company they found, they´ll never contact you again for another job. You´re off their call list.
Even if you are most skilled person and they´ll never find one like you, that doesn´t mean you´ll get hired and do not be surprised when they offer you low salary, around 200 Gross, which is 1400 netto. Even if they have budget for it, they still want to pay less. On the other side, they are also afraid of people with quite experience. It´s suits them better if you are not that good. Sounds stupid but that´s that fact.
Transportation is really good, students younder than 30 yrs old have discount on ticket, usually yearly ticket for u-bahn, tram and bus is 365 Euro and is worth to have it. Trains are fast, never late, buses and trams as well. There are many connections.
I´d say for a student is around 1000 euro per month needed for all expences.
Job is extremly hard to find. It´s austrian tradition to find it thru aquentances and friends. It´s hard to find a job thru job postings although there are many (half of them expired but they are still rolling on the internet). If you apply regularly, you can get job earlierst within a year, usually takes 2 years to find it.
