Living in Antwerp with 1800 euro after tax per month

We live less than that with 6 of us, so yes it's enough, so long as you don't want to run a car or go on expensive holidays. Keep your rent to under 800 a month and you'll be fine.

nice to know you, I am also from India.

MONTHLY EXPENSES -
  GAS, WATER, ELECTRICITY - 100
                 FOOD     - 200
            MISCELLANEOUS - 100
        internet , tv     -  50
   phone to india(jumblo) -  20
  personal mobile for two -  30, so total = 500.

Most of the companies provides rental allowance and some cases car & petrol,outside the net salary, as in Belgium the taxes are very high.You can better confirm that with your HR. How are you so sure about income after tax? As tax system is itself very complicated.

Okay, leaving all this - 500 as stated above.
                        650(rent+maintenance) notsure in antwerp
                         50 (TRANSPORT not sure), u can definitely have a decent living out of this.

Thanks RAVICHANDRAN JAYAPRAKASH and tervurener for your inputs.

Dear all,

I will soon be relocating to Antwerp along with my wife. I have reading up on the blog about the cost of living.

Has there been any change in the cost of living in the past 2 years. Can EUR 1200-1300 expense be sufficient for me and my wife.

Regards,
Shreeji Doshi

You can live a comfortable life on that budget!
