How many czech koruna is a beer

Bratislava was more livable but too modern and industrial-looking. Anonymous on Apr 11, : Minimum of czk net salary for a family of 3, and this is only if you use public transportation and rent a flat in cheaper areas such as Praha 8 - Bohnice. Anonymous on Apr 07, : Hello everyone, What is the average cost of living for two adults and a child including rent in Euros? I will be renting on the edges of Prague as the work isnt in the City center? Whats the average net salary that if you have will be covering all your needs?

Thanks in advance Camel on Mar 29, : The city is international for working and living is best spot to stay Chris on Feb 25, : Would 65k net be enough for a family of 3? The school would be covered. Not looking to live a luxurious life but wondering if we would be comfortable and not struggling? As a real-estate investor that's good news buying cheaply without living there.

Camel on Jan 17, : Prague is amazing place to live and to work It's just a rotten overpriced pigpen. Jacob on Jan 03, : If you work in IT you will find a decent job to cover your monthly expenses but it wont earn you enough to buy a flat or house.

House prices are same as Berlin in Germany. I wouldnt recomend to move here if you want to work in tourism or any other industry. Prague has the most expensive real estate in Europe based on average salary if you want to buy a property Anonymous on Dec 09, : Czech citizens need to speak English to accommodate us Brits.

Pasupathi on Dec 02, : Prague is a lovely place to visit! As regards comments on language, everyone must realize citizens of any country would always love talking in their language! Prague still remains affordable compared to some neighbouring countries. Of course who doesn't want zero inflation?!

Mark on Sep 26, : Hi. I live in Prague for 1. I work in IT and earn 60k czk net salary and live alone, so one person it looks very good. I do not spend much money on restaraunts and cafes, so I can save from here. I pay around 16k czk for a studio with all utilities included.

The very big disadvantage of Prague and Czechia overall is local language. Without it, it will be really tough to live or going outside. Even buying smth. Even Immigration Officers will not speak with you in English, where it is logical that, only foreigners will come to Immigration : I have been in post stores, shops, shopping malls, gym, cafes and most of them do not speak English, so it becomes very stressful to communicate with locals.

As a advice, I suggest you, for the first period to choose apartment near some hotels. Cause hotels have their own barbershops, gyms, massage salons and etc. If you know Russian language, so it would also help you, cause here very large number of expats from Russian speaking countries like Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, so you will probably meet them on daily basis. Overall, if it is your first move to abroad, it can be useful to move here, cause you can travel Europe cheap and fast and see other places.

But personally I do not consider Czechia as permanent living place. Good luck : Andrea Oggero on Sep 13, : I don't know why they keep showing completely fake prices like the price of a coke. Try to find just one restaurant where a coke costs 35 KC, impossible. Or a water for 25 KC, where in Prague? Maybe these where the prices 5 years ago Anonymous on Jun 15, : I heared czech republic basic salary is per month. I saw lot of job postings even big foreginer companies offer per month.

Melisssa on Apr 25, : I like Dec 18, comment. I live in the USA. Im sure we beat you in lack of common sense and rationality. This place is terrible. I just want to get out of here. I know all places have their cons but have you seen our "leader"????? What would be the right salary to ask net , so that I can live decently there? Thanks a lot in advance! I saw all the comment and all the stats above, this offer seems to be decent, like not good but limit ok. I need some advice from you guys.

Thanks Gooddeal on Jan 18, : Prague is now more expensive than southern Spain without the good weather or the more western quality of service. It is become a poor deal. However even eastern Europe is not a great deal compared to Spain. While services are somewhat cheaper in Prague rents are so expensive at roughly 40 percent more than Zagreb Croatia has the sea and about to percent more than Romania has the Carpathians.

Even Germany is a better deal for costs in relation to the medical care and social benefits. Yes, I know you are probably right, but it is outrageous that Prague transformed itself, in the space of just few years, from a low-cost, affordable place that it was, to the bloody ripoff place it is today, where the limits of common sense and rationality have been crossed many moons ago. For those of you looking to come here to the CEE El-Dorado, keep your sanity and save your nerves, go elsewhere!

Anonymous on Dec 05, : Can a person earning euro net per month live comfortably in Prague? Anonymous on Dec 05, : How much money is ok for one person to move to Prague? I like your blog. CZE on Oct 15, : I moved to Prague one year ago and can break down my salary and living expenses as a single person living in the city.

I earn 55k before tax, which is about 40k after tax. I spend 15k on a 53 sm2 apartment, with bills 3k and Internet , so 18, CZK a month.

I spend roughly 1 to 1,2k crowns a week on groceries, so 4 to 4,8k a month. My phone bill is the cheapest tariff I could find, CZK a month.

After my main expenses I have something like 14 or 15k left over every salary, and I usually finish the month anywhere between 6k to 9k CZK to go to savings. Overall, I think I have a very good, privileged life in Prague compared to many.

My flat is rather good quality and cheaper than many other ones in comparison to current market prices, and is also pretty close to the city center by tram.

If you don't mind sharing an apartment with one or more people you will of course spend much less. What are the tax slabs. Any inputs are highly Appreciated. How much would be an ideal salary be, not a lot, but with enough savings, to live in Prague with my wife and 2 years old kid? I have 7 years of experience in IT and what is the market standard salary that an IT engineer of my experience gets offered in Prague?

Anonymous on Aug 23, : Hi! Plan to move in Prague with my family wife and 2 kids 1 Yr old and 2 Yr old what supposed to be the salary income to survive? Will 2k euro net is enough? I have an offer of Euro net. Plan to rent an apartment on Prague 6 or Prague 8. Will I survive on 2k Euro? I should have a salary of 2. I do not really know if I have to accept the job offer. Do you any experience like this?

There should be anything else I have to consider? As you said it though, moving from DE to CZ, no matter how you look at it, is a step backwards in many ways, regardless of earnings. Germany has a much more advanced social system, health system, infrastructure, quality of education etc. And as you mentioned it, prices in Czech Rep. Especially if you have a family or considering starting one soon, Germany would be more adequate IMO, and if you really want a change of scenery rather consider places like Switzerland, Netherlands or the Scandies.

Peter Griffin on Aug 11, : hi. Basically it is a tourist trap, accommodation entails outrageous prices, whether rental or buying! I moved to Czech Republic from Australia simply because Australia is a dump. Czech Republic is not a bad option to live within so long as one does a bit of homework. Petr on Aug 09, : Hello!

Anonymous on Aug 07, : Can any one tell me for 13 years experienced business analyst in banking domain what will be the Net salary that we can expect in prague? Anonymous on Aug 07, : Hi Anonymous on Aug 05, ! It is approx eur after taxes. Its interesting to ready everyone's experience.

I hope everyone has settled well and enjoyed staying in Czech Republic. Thank you in advance for an advice. Anonymous on Aug 02, : Hello Daniel, fall back plan is that I make now without bonus the euros in Germany net so net in Prague plus bonus net would have been more however rent is a more in Prague for what I get now with euros all is 65 SQM in prague would get me 50 sqm Also consumer goods are way more expensive in Prague clothes, electronics, branded products cost way more then in Germany.

Have no idea what you said no, what your fallback plan is, what your expenses are, whether you are single or with family, etc. Daniel on Jul 30, : Hi Joseph If you are coming here to retire, you would of course not be tied to live within Prague or surroundings for that matter. There's plenty of places within 45min-1hr of a train ride from Prague, where you can live in a house on that money, including the rent, however it would be a frugal life at best, no luxuries. If you would buy a house up front, which would be pretty cheap outside of Prague, in a rural area something between around EUR Even if you had to buy a flat outright, assuming you can afford to spend around USD for a sqm.

Sadly, we met multiple US retirees here at expat get-togethers who were in the process of sorting out their Czech "exit" and either return to the US of move to some other country, because their dream retirement place has in the meantime seriously deteriorated and the small pension or savings that they came with here, to boost their quality of life considerably at the time, nowadays barely affords them a decent life.

The conclusion Joseph A Khan on Jul 27, : How about living 2 old retired people in place like this? Daniel on Jul 12, : Hello Saad To be honest, CZK equivalent of USD would be very less if gross, and if net, it would be barely manageable for 6 people to live on, as in you would be in a real struggle. Forget about any houses with garden or anything like that, for a house you would have to pay that entire salary - the other expenses, what they call poplatky here water, heating, refuse, etc.

I assume if coming from UAE hopefully the time spent there and the better pay has afforded you the possibility to accumulate some savings, so if you just want to spend years in Prague and see how you'll get along it might be a good experience, but definitely consider doing some hard negotiating to try to increase your pay.

Good luck with whatever you choose. Saad on Jul 06, : Hello Everyone! I have got an offer from Prague from one of the reputable IT firm. I have wife, 3 kids and my old mother with me.
