I am a high income earner, in the top 5% in Germany. I still felt poor in Munich. For a couple with 3 kids, our basic costs were around 4000 per month. This does not include buying clothes, going to restaurants and gadgets shopping. My warm rent was 1800. I moved to dresden and my warm rent is 365. I have an extra 1435 euros to invest every month. In my case, Munich had the same salary as Dresden but the costs of Switzerland.

The costs for home internet and mobile internet depends on the provider, the location where do you live and if you have DSL with telephone cable, cable with coaxial-cable or FTTH or FTTB with fiber. DSL = intenet with low brandwidth with high prices, but relatively stable. Cable/Coaxial-cable: internet with high brandwidth with stable price, but it is a shared medium and therefore sometimes the intenet connection is good, sometimes the connection is bad. And the last option would be FTTH or FTTB. If you want to look for emails and write emails, then you need low brandwidth. You want to watch videos via intenet, then the brandwidth should be 100 Mbit/s at least.

I wonder, if the average price for a flat in a city is a good comparison, because it highly depends on what is counted part of the city. For example, in Hamburg there are districts like Altengamme or Neugraben, which are very rural. In munic those would probably not be part of the City, but counted as separate municipalities in the Landkreis. And the low rent in these rural areas brings the average value down. But living near the city center is probably not so much more expensive in munich. That might also (partly) explain the higher ticket prices in Hamburg (which is "only" 93€ btw. if you choose the recurring "Abo" which can be terminated any time), it just covers a larger area.

I'd say the average in Berlin for a 50sqm apartment should actually be about 1000€ kalt, since those data must be considering all the people living in their apartment for years and are not paying the actual and current market price, as well as people living outside the Ring. I don't believe those data are wrong, but not really realistic for people considering to move to Berlin (city), as those cheap apartments are not in the market. My apartment has 55sqm and my Kaltmiete is 1150€. A friend's apartment is 43sqm and her Kaltmiete is 780€. Disclaimer here is that these are prices in the Ring too. Outside the ring one could find a 60sqm apartment for 700€ Kalt easily, but that would mean taking public transportation from 45-60mins to Mitte. Also took me 3 months, checking listings every 10mins, to find one (not furnished either). Hope that helps for people considering to move to the city!

Some costs are accurate, but some are way off.. For example, the cold rent in 2022 in a Nürnberg 47sqm apartment cost us about 690 euros (+ 180 euros warm) and we were lucky to find this because they were more expensive options... And while we sometimes cook too, I found that the Supermarkets groceries prices skyrocketed this year so on average that number is way bigger - about 600-650 euros per month.. Also, a monthly pass for public transportation costs about 75 euros, I find this very expensive.. So, my estimates after 2 month expenses report for a young couple with no kids was a budget situated between 2200-2500 euros a month, I find this to be more realistic, especially in the first moving months when you want to try all the things that Germany has to offer, and travel locally a bit..

Well, honestly it depends on where you want to live and how much space etc. You want to have a shared apartment? On your own? Or if you want to live in a city like Munich or Stuttgart or don't care if it's rather country side. E.g. I live outside of Munich in a 1,5 room apartment (balconcy with a view of the alps). I'd say I live comfortable with a car I just got to get to work. I earn about 2000€ and am able to save some money for harder times. If I only earned 1,500 it would be manageable, but I'd have to think about more closely how to spend money (750€ "warm rent", add to that food and fuel costs etc.) E.g. in the city Hof I just looked for a similar apartment, the rent warm would be 400€. There's no way to give you a general answer🤷♀️

If it is, then it just turns out to be compatible with one's own mindset, lifestyle or taste. Plus, the girls didn't say like, "Alright, if you'll be having a burger, prepare to spend 32,80.", it is one example of what they _personally_ would have outdoors, and so they had to honestly include that price for the sake of that total they gave at the end - for themselves.

You should correct the title to "cost of living in germanys popular big cities" There are many cities that are cheaper in the cost of living. Working in Düsseldorf, Munich, Berlin etc. does not mean you have to live there. I worked in Düsseldorf but lived 30min away in the Ruhrgebiet area and paid much less rent etc than I would have for any apartment in Düsseldorf and public transport covers a very big area. And these cities you choose are not representive for the cities. There is a calculator on financescout to compare what you have to earn for the same standard in different cities. For example if you live in Siegen NRW and earn 50000€ you have to earn 83000€ to live in Munich with the same level of living. A better help is maybe comparing Düsseldorf and Wuppertal. Most is the same and if you live in Wuppertal while earning 50000€ you would need 65000€ to live in Düsseldorf with the same level of living. 100% of the difference in money needed is for rent and utilities and these cities have only a distance of 30km with a good public transport system connecting them.

Hey, guys! My name's María and I'm from México. I'm not moving to Germany anytime soon since I've still got at least two years until I graduate University from Culinary arts. Even so, I've started my research regarding on what's needed to move to Germany and to know what to expect. Do you happen to have a video about applying to jobs from abroad or ... Well, looking for jobs in Germany? I'm a bit stuck on that.

This was good! I was expecting to hear about gas separate from electricity. Several instances for gas that I’ve been told of, together with electricity, doubles up the median electricity amount in the video. Or is it part of the warm rent total? Could you educate a little on this?
@simplegermany
2 жыл бұрын
Usually when you pay for gas yourself, you also heat with gas and thus you should not have heating costs as part of your utilities. So that extra gas cost should more or less equalize with the otherwise included heating costs.

Depends on how close to the city center and in which social strata and environment you want to live ... List, Bult, Südstadt or Zooviertel, (close to the city center, close to the city forest and the zoo, lots of cultural things to do) etc will be more expensive than Hainholz, Sahlkamp, Stöcken or Mühlenberg (workers and migrant quarters usually close to the busy streets/highways and industry - though they do have some really nice corners as well). Though with all German cities prices have gone up. You can find good single apartments for 400€ Kaltmiete or a 4 Room apartment for 1500€ it all depends on your budget and what you want. Renting a house will be very expensive (2200€ and more) , a 2 ( ~50m2) or 3 room apartment (~70m2 or larger) can range from 500-1250€ (or higher) depending on squaremeter and location. But you should expect to pay at least ~10€ per square meter and then add additional costs for water, electricity, heat etc.

The "it's not really part of your salary, you never see it..." with regards to healthcare is a really bad way of judging cost/life style. While living in Frankfurt, I knew that around 45-48% of my income went to Germany/taxes/healthcare. That absolutely needs to be taken into account for where you live.
@simplegermany

That is exactly what we explain. One should always take the net amount, which one can pre-calculate with one of the gross/net calculators to have an idea what you are working with to determine what money you have in your pocket for cost of living. Never start that calculation based on your gross salary.

Like we disclose, we live in Dusseldorf, 30 mins walking from the city center in a 47 sqm flat without a balcony, we live in the attic without an elevator next to train tracks. The rental contract is 9 years old, so nowadays rent would probably be a bit higher.

Imagine telling people planing to relocate to Berlin that they will be paying less than €900/month for a 50m² apartment 😂More like 900-1200. Or €850 for an 80m² flat. Whoever believes that is delusional.
