Work / Moving to Poland to work at a company (Warsaw or Lodz). Average expense per month? [57]

I agree - sharing a flat will be a problem with me, for security reasons as well as some where because I am a vegetarian.

And I assume there would not be a lot of vegetarians in Warsaw or whole Poland as I have seen few threads here on the forums

Hello

I checked that my gross salary will be 8000 PLN

May be, you are right but then I have to do it. I might not able to save much if you suggest that way. But seriously, I will have my hopes low, so I might be able to save a bit more than lets say 10000 zl a year.

Thanks for the information though.

Thanks for pulling me out of depression. but as you suggested that if you live with someone, you can save more.
I think I need to put another post of finding gf on this forum ;) :D

Please tell me, what will be the complete cost of a flat in Warsaw - assuming the utilities will be around 400-500 zl including czynsz

I am confused now.
I have accepted the offer to travel, so I do not have much of an option.

Also, assuming if I stay for a year , probably they would increase the payout for me and also experience would be great to be a part of a new culture.

I have seen few apartments ad here
bezposrednio.com/mieszkania,wynajem,warszawa

which means i will get apartment at the max 1600-1800 zl + utilities which usually cost around 500 zl ( at the max) + internet is cheap as i have checked few places (75 zl) for that

then transportation for 400 zl and 1000 zl ( which i think is over estimation ) for food .
So around 3500 - 4000 zl

I did some calculations on my end as to how much I might have to spend, please correct/add/remove whatever you think needs to be added

Rent 1800
Fitness 150
Movie 50
Transport 100
Milk 28
Bread 30
Rice 60
Tomato 30
Potato 16
Water 50
Beer 90
McD 170
Restaurant 200
Coffee 200
Internet 60
Utilities (Electricity, Water) 350
Mobile plans 120

As this sums up to around 3500 zl per month

Ohh so you mean to suggest that my 5000zl will be spent for sure , any how :(
That is not a good news on the perspective of doing some saving

I think since I will be alone there so I guess will have some time to cook.

Also, you are right , I will ask my Polish colleagues to help me with the house or will post an ad here itself, so if owner may respond and provide me the apartment for rent


Thanks for the website, it kind of sums up all the things - necessities.
I need to plan as to how much I will spend

Hello Dominic

My Medical insurance is also provided by the company , so i guess that expense i can remove
But I understand what you are implying here
I think I will be able to cook for myself 4 -5 times a week
so I can save a lot there
Can you give me some more information regarding rent agreement and other formalities?

Thank you for all of your comments
I will be getting some thing around 5000-5500zl
so i guess people who mentioned that expense can shoot up to 5000 zl , i guess i could save very less than :(

What i got to know by some research is
Rent - 1500 - 2000 zl which includes all sorts of bills (electricity, water and other )
Food item - 600-800 zl
Travel - 200 zl
Other expenses - 300 zl

That sums up to around 3000 -3500 zl

Please let know if this is correct calculations
