Oslo is one of the world's most dangerous cities, according to the Zimbabwe Times, it is the third most dangerous city in the world after Stockholm and Mogadishu, the two largest cities in Somalia. I was riding the metro and accidentally exited at the wrong stop and ended up in a neighborhood called Stovner. It looked exactly like a Brazillian favela, with slums stacked on top of eachother, this area was more dangerous than Sao Paolo or Caracas, those places were paradise compared to Oslo. Anyways I got off the station and a Swedish man named Ahmad Farshid Bin Tlariq al Muqtadeen din Rashidi approached me as well as a Pakistani man named Salman Falmanrashidiqqi Siddiqui. They told me to convert to Islam. I was scared so I tried to cooperate, I asked them how, they told me it costs 5 million krone for infidels to visit the local mosque. After that I realize it was a scam. As I left the mosque, an SAS plane crashed into me and it made me fly all the way to Paris? And guess who else was in Paris?

Anyways in conclusion, Oslo is a very deadly city, if you care about your personal safety DO NOT VISIT!!!!!

This salary after tax is not correct. Average salary in Oslo is around 35000 NOK. After tax. Before tax is around 50000 nok.

I am just offered a job in Oslo. Tax is about 33% of income and rent with utility will range from 20-30k per month. For a salary around 600k per year you'll have 200k as tax. 33k per month for life. A hybel is cheaper to rent but needs at least 20k so only 13k reminded for eating and clothing and travel. Oslo is hard to live for people without accomodation and emmigrant. Saving is hard. Utmost possible 500 usd per month for the above good salary.

I don't know where do you collect these prices,I am long time member(not registered by now) and am I living over 20 years in Norway I have been visiting over 60 countries and always used this website and gave honest and truthfully information about cost of living in any city/country I was with a shopping or rental bill copy, so you can have reliable information and reports for your customers such as myself as well, but today I see your cost of living reports here are way too old,such prices either no longer relative or are before pandemic. all prices worldwide has been dramatically raised up so also at least the 5 countries I was living for short terms in last two years such as, China, Cambodia, Germany, Ukraine, and Norway. I am currently still living in Oslo but at the beginning of March travel to Asia again and willing to send you my reports if interested. Best wishes for the website and those who are using it . To my opinion is still one of the most reliable cost of living website relatively speaking. Pale Rider (John Robert)
