Work / Is 6500PLN/month enough for 2 people from India to live on in Wroclaw? [40]

Merged: Moving to Poland, need your advice

Hello dear Forum, I need your advice.

I know there are a lot of topics like this around the forum, I've read most of them. But probably something has changed or you can supply me with a more relevant information.

I'm from Russia, still relatively young, and recently I got a job offer in Poland, Wroclaw. The salary is going to be 6500 zlt gross.

If I get this correctly the tax is around 19% (if income is less than 85,528zlt per year, and it is less - 5600*12=78000) which results to 5265 zlt NET.

Even if the money are not a real concern, I just want to leave Russia, get polish permanent residency and citizenship later. May you please help me to answer and clarify the following:

1) Am I correctly counting NET income? There are no hidden taxes in poland? If yes, 5265 NET will be enough to live as single person? As a family of two (no kids)?

2) I suppose renting an apartment will cost me 2000zlt, utilities around 500zlt and food around 500zlt, transportation around 100zlt and cellular phone charges around 50zlt per month. This leaves me with approx. 2115zlt free per month. Am I counting correctly? 2115zlt per month is enough to buy food/entertainment/electronics, at least sometimes?

3) If you been in both Poland and Russia, do u find Poland more attractive place to live? Why? Why not?
4) Is Wroclaw a nice city?

Thank you very much for your aid.
