I am considering applying for a job in Amsterdam - the salary is between €40000 and €45000. I think that would be between €1941 and €2174 per month after tax.
Financial commitments (a loan) I have in the UK mean I would have to transfer €550 or so each month.
Realistically speaking, would I be able to survive after transferring this?
Ideally I'd like to live in a studio flat and cycle everywhere.
Can I survive on this salary in Amsterdam?
