Offer in Belgium

Hey Guys,

I got an offer in Belgium for 5700 Eur per month. Please help me out to calculate the net salary. My wife is not working and we have a 1.5 year old kid. We have the benefits like transportation, internet etc., Is government schools free? Would be great if you could also provide general expense there.

5700 Eur per month is a very good salary. There are many tax calculator available. for instance, you can use this : "https://www.sd.be/loonsimulator/public/?lang=EN "
or "https://www.partena-professional.be/en/knowledge-center/des-simulateurs-et-des-calculateurs/gross-net-simulator-company-managers"

Public schools are free but are in french and dutch. if you are looking for long term and settle down here, public schools are good to enroll.

General expense you can get at numbeo : https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/in/Brussels
for a couple , usually its between 1200-1500€ max but depends on your lifestyle and city living in. I think it will not go over 1500€.
Rent -  €1000 (average)
Groceries - €200
Utilities (electricity, water, building common charges)-  €200
internet - €50 (could be free depending on your employer)
