Hi,
I have an offer from a company to work at Ghent, Belgium. I have no idea about the cost of living in Ghent, Belgium and would like to get views about it.
I would be moving in with my Wife and 2 year old kid. So keeping this mind, what would be the average monthly expense for a family of 3?
Also, I would be on the payroll of the company in India and would be working on a Work permit. Given this what would be the amount of taxes I have to pay? Also I would like to consider the amount required for average medical expenses? (I am assuming that health care would not be free as I will not be a citizen of Belgium).
Given all these factors what should be my monthly disposable income (after tax) to lead a comfortable life?
------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: Let me clarify a few more things and make it a bit more concise:
1. I would paid in Euros
2. I would not eligible for free health care (as I am not Belgian citizen)
3. I would not be eligible for Belgian social security
So given these facts, I would like to the cost of living per month, considering these factors
1. Family of three (one 2 year old kid)
2. Average Medical expenses
3. Rent an apartment (preferably two bedroom) (Ghent area)
4. Travel by public transport
5. Schooling for the kid
6. Day care for the kid (I am not sure about it, but in case my wife has to work)
Please indicate the monthly cost of living with all these factors in mind.
