Some infos about the cost of living (examples) in Netherlands in this topic: cost-living-netherlands-t21509.html Anyone with specific examples and infos on cost of living in Amsterdam (accommodation, transport...etc) please post below here
Transport: 90€ if you want the subscription to public transport (almost all companies refund them) otherwise there is the bike Housing: everything depends on the city, Amsterdam it is necessary to count near 1300€ for a housing of 50m² in the center. The accommodations all have a reasonable size. Co-location is more affordable. Haarlem, which is 15 minutes away by public transport from Amsterdam, is a much cheaper city and many Dutch people choose not to live in Amsterdam because accommodation is too expensive. Shopping: the ladle probably between 200€ and 300€ for two knowing that we can eat outside and we do our shopping at the steps. For a basket full of fresh fruits and vegetables of all kinds count 20€. Taxes: taken at source. The money placed is taxed at 2%, the bins cost 180th a year. If you own a dog it will cost you 150€. Phone: Free does not exist yet here, but at 20€ you will have a good package Cinema: on average more than 10th place Clothing: stores are regularly on sale Bike: average prices are 100 / 150€, 20€ for repairs Doctor: Medical expenses are supported if requests are first made by your referring doctor. Attention dentists are twice as expensive here.
