How it works
Comparing salaries across Europe is meaningless without comparing costs: a €3,000 net salary buys a very different life in Zurich, Warsaw and Lisbon. Monthly living costs for a single person range from roughly €900 in Bulgaria or Romania to €3,000+ in Switzerland.
Pick a country to pre-fill realistic national averages for housing, food, transport, utilities, entertainment and healthcare — then adjust every figure to your lifestyle. Add your net income to see your monthly savings potential, the single best indicator of whether a move makes financial sense.
Monthly budget
TotalCost = Housing + Food + Transport + Utilities + Entertainment + Healthcare
Savings = NetIncome − TotalCost
SavingsRate = Savings ÷ NetIncomePresets are national averages for a single person; capital cities typically run 20–40% above the national average, driven mostly by rent.
