Hello all and thanks for all the wonderful information on this site! I like many others am working with my employer (Large US Tech Company with office in La Defense). They are not offering an "expat" package but a move package. I should mention I have been awaiting my Hungarian citizenship for over a year (any day now fingers crossed!) I need to figure out what I need my salary to be and living expenses. The hardest part is understanding what the reality of how much I will take home is!!
I am married with 2 children (3 and 8). Let's take an example of 100k euros plus car allowance. Employer will give about $30k to relocate us to Paris. Here are my questions (any help greatly appreciated!!)
1) Looked at apts and assume 3000 euros a month for 2 bed 1100 sq ft (100 sq m) in decent arrondisement - is that a good guess?
2) Is 100k euros a good amount to live comfortably (nice apt, 2 kids in private or catholic or immersion schools, etc) ?
3) What will I take home??? I know taxes are higher in France than any EU country I heard and it is impossible to say but ballpark 60% take home? What are all the charges like social charges (8% I think)? Do they factor in the "parts"=3 (two adults plus 2 kids) .. I think I also heard you get paid monthly in France - true?
Thanks for any help!!
