What would a basic good salary be in Warsaw for an expat who's used to medium-range living with the odd luxury thrown in?

A "good" salary in Poland is a fairly subjective topic, but if we're generalizing - which we are, then I would say 5000 PLZ is a good amount for an expat to earn who's looking for good accommodation in the city centre and a bit extra to enjoy themselves with or to save.

You'll find yourself paying at least 2000 PLZ for decent digs in prime proximity to everything, and then you can anticipate spending about 800 PLZ on food, 100 to 200 PLZ on utilities and another 150 PLZ on transport (counting on a mixture of public and private transport).

If you want a car and have a fetish for eating out, you would probably need to earn a salary of 6000 to 7000 PLZ per month in Warsaw.

Hi All, would 8000 net PLN is enough for a single person to live in studio flat in central Warsaw?
