Hi Vikram,

I think the package you've been offered is pretty good.

You didn't mention where exactly you would be located in the Netherlands but accommodation in the Hague and Amsterdam is very expensive. You would be looking to pay out at least EUR 1,500 for a three-bedrrom apartment. In any case accommodation will be your biggest expense will be

Being provided with a car and fuel is also great.

Depending on the age of your child you might want to consider going back to the employer and asking for a schooling allowance. Fees at international schools are high and you would be paying around EUR 14,000 per year.

Ultimatley, whether EUR 3,000 is enough to support your family will depend on your lifestyle and wether you want to indulge or save instead.

Take a look at the Expat Arrivals Cost of Living in the Netherlands page for more information.

Good luck.
