Hello dear expats,

I'm waiting for a job offer in Hoofddorp, so I'm trying to figure out what net figure would be enough for a familiy of 4 (kids are 3 and 1 year old). I'm expecting something in a ballpark of 3000€ net with company paid health insurance for the whole family and 30% ruling. I don't plan on driving a car there, so pretty much just the basics, with once a year trip to the home country (in Europe). Would that one sallary be enough ones kids get to school age? As we're considering NL as our "final destination" I think we'll go with public schooling.
