Hello

4,000 Euro is about 15-16 thousand pln. It should be enough for you and your family but you need to ask your self a few questions. 1. How much will it cost you for renting a place? 2. Do you want your children in a private school taught just in English? 3. How will you get around for work? Questions like that. Anyway that should be enough money for anyone to live off of.

Hope that helps!

4k EU is considered as a high salary in Poland... on the other hand private schools for foreigners might be expensive...

In my opinion: 4000e sounds nice compared to local average but it depends on how long are you planning to stay and for what reason? If it's just for work then think again about the costs of relocation with a family if you know what I mean.

Furthermore: are you planning to put your kids to international school or is partly home school an option, is your employer willing to cover your and your family's insurances, rent and relocation costs even for the first year.

Etc, etc.

1. Public transport will cost you 200 PLN per 3 months = the cost of a city travelcard.
