Living in Helsinki
-
I'm considering a job opportunity that would require me to move to Helsinki. The talks are about to reach the money topic and I am not that well informed of living costs in Helsinki. So, I'd appreciate any Helsinki residents' insight in living expenses and standard senior developer salaries in Helsinki.

Hellishly expensive drinking. Rent, probably 600-1000 euros a month. Food probably 500. This is of course based on never having lived there, but generic north european prices.

I have lived 20 years i Helsinki and think that you should earn at least 3000 euro/month to be able to live comfortable. Remember that you also need to pay 35% in tax. Here is a site with apartments: http://www.vuokraovi.com/vuokraovi/main/main.action?locale=en&theme=theme_en[^] Expect to pay at least 700 euro/month on rent.

So basically with 3000-tax = 2000 should be enough for a comfortable living? Or you are talking about 3000 after tax deductions?

Seems a bit high - but of course depends on family size.
