Cost of Living in Warsaw

I would suggest to add cost of keeping animals at home, in Poland more than half of population has a dog or a cat or both, vet visits are very expensive and good dog/cat food as well. My dogs (for example) cost much more than monthly ticked to joga club. :-)

There are no such thing as fixed- rate 20Y mortgage in Poland. 99,9% is floating rate. Banks starting to offer fixed rate for 5Y. Average floating rate for all mortgages is 2,9% (2020.06). New customers are paying more something betwen 3-4%.

Con they offer gross or net 9000 pln salary?

Hi! I have been selected as the best candidate for a PR Manager position in Warsaw! Employer mentioned that includes a relocation package and everything. If I get an offer, what would you say could be a good salary to accept.

Hi everyone,
I've been offered a job in Warsaw for 3000 EUR as basic salary (before taxes).
The idea is to move in with my husband but I will be the only one working.
Would that be enough for a lavish life? We are used to living alone in a house and we like to go out a couple of times a month.

Is 8000 PLN enough for a lavish life in Poland? I want to live alone and don't want to cook everyday.

About rasist, whole Europe are exist but not everyone. Higher educated people or businessmen don't have racist problem.
I used to live in Poland for 3 years. Czech for one year. I think polish people are much more global minded than Czech. If you insist polish is racist, then Czech will kick you out. They are same race, totally different behavior. Maybe Poland is a bigger country, so people are more understandable.

Something got really wrong today with the data - it's not relevant anymore. Have no idea who and for what reason changed so many things but its' just not true. Yesterday average salary was 4140 zł now it's 3654 zł. Tho mortgage rate is wrong. It's not 5%, it was around 3.5% before which is actually pretty reliable.
And a 3-room apartment outside centre does not cost >4k zł.

Numbeo should look into that.

Alexandra - it's not enough to rent an 1br apartment and buy food, but at the end of the month nothing is left

Hi there! I was offered a job in Warsaw for 5040zl gross. Does that sound enough for a family of two, one child one adult? Thank you very much for your responses in advance.

@Pawel I see this in news. But is this agression is against every foreigner or against non-white people? Or against refugees?... And how Polish citizens think about Russians? Thank you.

@Sasza : Are you really sure about recommending American Clinic Warsaw? I googled it just now and what I found are terrible reviews - they all have a rating of 1 star out of 5.

Hi #Maheshpothani

In Poland in 2018 minimal wage is 2100month/gross (13,7 pln/h gross) that means 1530 PLN net/month (in PLN).
They can't hire you legally for less.

In Polen in Warschau befindet sich ein tollen Nachtklub New Orleans Gentlemen's Club. Schon lange habe ich so einen Klub nicht besucht!

I found a room at Al. Jana Pawła II 70 in a 6-room flat with two bathrooms and seems very good, for around 1000 PLN. Seems legit? I'm an upcoming erasmus student :)

Hello! I am gonna live in Warsaw for three years. Everybody tells me that it's difficult to have my dog with me and I won't find somewhere to rent because dogs are unwanted. Is it true? I don't want to left my dog back.

@Sam

Far-right football hooligans are more active in cities like Krakow and Wroclaw recently.
Warsaw is a very safe city and Poland on a whole is a safe country, way more than a few western country where crime is stronger.

You've nothing to fear about being beaten or experiencing overt racism in Poland.
Instead, if you're not an Erasmus student you could experience isolation: generalizing poles are not very outgoing like Spaniards or Portuguese, they tend to stay with their circle of friends and they don't try to socialize on every opportunity.
Warsaw in particular, despite being a big city has a very rural background being a destination for villagers, and the mentality is still there.
Must be said anyway that there's quite a big difference between polish boys and girls, since the girls are generally very open and curious about diverse people.

If I were You there, I'd more feared of bald/short haircut guys in tracksuits or blue jeans and hoddie than skinheads. Your chances to meet skinheads here ain't much bigger to meet inuits.
Enter to search engine a word "dresiarz" - then you'll know what they look like.

In all eastern europe we don't like muslims, but it's ok if you're pretty much secular and respect the local culture and traditions. You have a good chance not to run into any problem in the biggest cities, which are more multicultural and focused more on economics and less on traditions. Anyway I'd suggest some other countries if you have the option. Just being 100% honest with you.
