The  net income after taxation on that gross salary will be very much enough to live comfortably in Belgium with decent savings.

Hello there

if you searched this forum, you'd see your job offer would make you in the top few percent of earners.

A single person can survive on 1200 euro per month. You'll have more than 3k in your pocket.

Just how much money do you want? Surely life is not all about money anyway. You will have a life most can only dream of financially, so do be aware of this.

Thanks! Would you know how much the net income will be from a 5k gross salary? Is it 2500 euros?

somewhere around that number..

For a single person with no dependents, it's about 2800 per month.

You need to find out if you are going to be paid 12, 13 or 14 months.

Also many people get free cars and fuel cards with huge limits (horrific, very unenvironmental and bad for your health too!!!).

Also you will almost definitely get at least 8 euro worth per day on a food card, most common one by Sodexo. That will be 1.8 to 2k more per year,  or 150 to 167 per month.

Also you might get eco vouchers or health vouchers.

Also you might get hospitalization insurance.

Also you must on a Belgian contract get at least 70% of transport to work refunded, meaning your public transport bill yearly will very unlikely be more than about 100-200 euro.

It's not therefore just your gross and net salary you need to ask about.
