On a similar sort of topic, my company will be holding a project in Austria and I'm trying to figure out a daily rate that would be a little above average, fair but competitive, the work is mostly driving with a bit of admin, any ideas?
Oh really? What is the average salary in Vienna (I mean after taxes)? And what is a "good" net salary?
The citywide average income back in 2011 seemed to be €20.594,00 after taxes. Naturally, that went up a bit since then.
There are huge differences, though. Average income in the 1st district (Innere Stadt) was €34.333,00, whereas people in the 20th only earned an average of €17.334,00.
A good net income? Huh. Without kids and a wive, you could live a pretty decent live with €1.700,00 a month. Far from luxurious, but okay.
Always interesting to see what other people's perspectives on a decent salary is. My life's goal at current standing is to try to score a geospatial tech job after uni and be making ideally $28,000/year after taxes, so €20,100. I feel like that's as much money as I could possibly need living in a nice studio as a bachelor in the inner part of some large city.

In Finland you would be poor Also in countries like America you need thousands of dollars for medical bills alone...
I live in Bratislava (Slovakia) which is quite less expensive than Vienna, I earn 2500€/month (1700€ net) and even here it's not enough to have a good life especially if you have children and mortgage.
From my experience 2500€ gross in Austria would be very poor salary.

That's about 1650 a month. In Holland you'd be working class, on the lower side. That's just about what a starting plummer, carpenter or groundworker would make. An experience carpenter in his 30's would make about 1800-1900 a month.

That's after tax, yes? It doesn't sound bad to me if you're a single person with no kids. Assuming the rent isn't too high. With my little time spent in the Netherlands, groceries didn't seem any more expensive than here. I don't know about everything else.
I know it's a low aim and most people in post-secondary would scoff at the idea of making that much. I think I'm just used to living my life alongside poor musicians and artists who just work in cafes and bars and are reaching their 30s.
After I posted this I went looking at average salaries for my prospective field in Canada and I got the impression the median is more like $40,000 CAD before tax - €28,000. Certainly it becomes higher after years of experience.

Yes that's after taxes and isn't too bad. You wont have much left at the end of the month but one person alone can do ok on it. It's actually a lot better then what people make working in a supermarket or low administrative jobs or a bar etc.
Median income is some where around 30.000 euro before tax in the Netherlands.
I've known a few musicians living like that myself haha. Some turned out to make quite a good living on it eventually
