Cost of Living in Munich

Disgusting overpriced city which compared to other German cities has nothing special to offer. The old town is too small and not interesting in architecture compared to Nürnberg or Augsburg.
Munich is village life yet overpriced, walking in any side street of city centre is already as lonely as if you're in a village.

I wish one day I can move

I am utterly disgusted by what the international jew has done to this city.

FYI companies that lure foreigners to Germany working for their companies get a tax break the other unspoken rule.

How can average salary in Munich be 3300 Euros after taxes? I think this statistics makes no sense for whole Munich. Maybe this should be changed to “average salary of contributors”

Apartment rents are way too high in Munich. Even in the outskirt areas. If you want to have a three bedroom apartment at the edge of munich, you would need more than 1800 monthly. Then add all the utility costs and don't forget the rising prices if energy.

What is average depends on your job, skills, degrees, lifestyle,... In essence, what do you expect to do with your salary?

And bear in mind that Germans will always try to underpay foreigners (it doesn't matter if you are from India, Africa, South America, Eastern Europe) because they will always come to the point that you do not speak perfect German language which is a "requirement" for a job.

Hi Hemanth

You can calculate salary, tax and other things in below link. It is very useful

88k EUR gross in Munich, as a single living at a place nicely connected with Hauptbahnhof. I used https://www.bbx.de/grossnet-wage-calculator-germany/ which estimates net monthly salary around 4200 EUR. What should I expect the total cost to be? I assume rent+grocery+public transport should consume at most 2000 EUR, is that a good estimate?

@Margret 24k per year in Munich (but also in Germany) is far too low and will not be sufficient for living in Munich! On average a junior software developer in Munich gets around 50k per year. 24k in netto is only around 17k which is around 1.4k per month. Unless you're lucky, you should expect to pay min. 600 Euro rent per month (not an apartment, just a room).

I have lived in both Munich and Toronto for the last 10 years (Corona made it more difficult) but based on my experience, Toronto is more expensive than Munich, virtually in all aspects, other than energy (gas, electricity). I would estimate about 10-15%, without rent/real estate, although downtown real estate is actually comparable. I have a similar size condo in each city, in a comparable area, and the real estate value would be exactly the same. The 5.99% cheaper Toronto as suggested by this site is IMHO not realistic, when compared apples to apples, unless the site compares tax-included prices in Munich with tax-excluded prices in Toronto (as most sticker prices would be) , in which case my estimate would also be correct.

Merkel stopped the flow of middle eastearners two months ago due to civil unrest.Try a different country

Hey,
