Hi All,

I have been offered a job in Paris by an MNC. I have been offered a gross salary of 97,400 Euros per annum which includes the annual emoluments.

The social security, income tax and accommodation need to be borne by me.

We are a family of four with two kids and I would be the sole earner for at least some time.

Is the offer worth taking ? A bit confused because social security, income tax and accommodation costs seem to be very high in Paris.

Any advice would be a great help since I need to confirm to the Organization by mid next week if I am taking up this job or not.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Cheers !

Matt.

Thanks a lot Bev, Mohsil & Everhopeful ..

I meant the same as you when I mentioned about Social security being borne by me. Just that I did not form the sentence comprehensively. My mistake.

I made a rough calculation of the taxes to be paid on the net salary (after deducting 23% from gross salary) and the total taxes payable came to around Euros 17,189. Mohsil gave me a figure of around Euro 6,500. Is my calculation wrong because I am yet to understand clearly the 'parts'calculation.

Secondly, My elder daughter is 4.5 years old now and she is currently in senior kindergarten. What would be the schooling options for her if we move in by this year end ?

Thirdly, what would be some nice areas to look for accomodation and what would be estimated rents for a 2 bedroom apartment ? I am not very particular on staying in Paris Central but again it must not be too far also.

I am just a bit anxious.

Thanks a lot guys.

Cheers.

Matt.

Thanks a lot guys.. You have been very helpful. I have almost made up my mind to take the offer and move.

As suggested I shall put the query on accommodation in a separate thread.

Cheers..
