If someone offers you 15-20k gross, believe me that it is really a lot. Many Poles would envy you. :)
Cost of living for 2 peaople without car and renting is about 2-3k. Cost of renting 1 bedrrom (2 rooms) about 3k with media (50-60pln/m2 + media)

I am planning to move on Krakow and for just 1 person 12-13k gross salary is enough to living there?
Been offered gross 17K PLN for warsaw location. Is it good ? What will be monthly expenditure for 2 people including rent.
Can my wife also work as she will be on dependent's visa.
Can one move to another europen country for work if on polish visa ?
Thanks in advance
And it is 7060pln brutto about 5100 pln netto about 1111euro. Please correct this information it is totaly wrong
+/- 900 - 1000PLN is for room rent. You'll not save a lot money, or any (assuring You'll eat sometimes outside and go for a drinks).
For PhD in my opinion scholarship should be greater.
