JokingNonnieWhat is minimum cost to live in Belgium? Thinking of moving here with my wife, kiddo (1 year old), and the cat. We expect 3000-3400 net plus a company car, maybe looking at Auderghem but i'm scared of the prices lol. Anyone know the real damage per month?
Accepted answer
vibe_check_be_proVaries. Single person spends about 759.95 monthly without rent while a family of 4 is closer to 1915.47 without housing, and students usually need between 1050 and 1400 if rent is included. Taking that company car makes a huge difference because it adds maybe 400-500 net per month compared to paying for your own car.
super_belgium2My brother bought a private car last year instead of taking the work car, a massive mistake due to the tax stuff... he is constantly paying for repairs and fuel now while his friends just drive for free!
wait_and_see23000-3400 for 3 is doable (if you are careful) but you wont have much left for fun or emergencies. Living in Auderghem is expensive for sure.
