Need help from UK citizens or residents!
I would like to know if a salary of 50.000 euro a year is enough to live a decent life in a UK city, not London or Dublin. How much is the rent for a decent apartment and how much money would I need for other expenses such as food, electicity, socialising...and all? Thanks!

re your query ...50,000 euro is equal 40,000 pounds roughly. if that is your gross income you will get a net salary of £2400 roughly after tax. rent is £800 for a 1 bed flat. Depending where u work travel will cost you a bob. so is electricity due to energy crisis. in fact everything is going up...still you may live decently on it. well all depend on your style of living...hope i have been of help.

The tax will be 22% and then up to 11% NI. So work out what yer ...left with, and thats yer salary.Live just outside a city and comute in, thats cheaper housing to start with.
Beer is about the same price as Qatar.Petrol is currently BD 1.040 a liter, not so cheap !
But hey, the country and the freindly people (like me) more than make up for it.
Oh, and the fact, yer have the freedom of choice, something yer dont find out here.

thanks for the info mr paul. ...thanks for the info mr paul. anyway, if i decide to go to england i will not go there to get rich, but more so i can get experience and really work among civilized people. sorry, no ofence for anybody here.
but if i could bother with another question, is this a good salary for a retail pharmacist?

The starting salary for a ...The starting salary for a pharmacist (pre-reg) is £18,000. The average pharmacist salary, thereafter, is £38,000.

I was in Cardiff for a while...I believe its generally cheaper in Cardiff...we used to say in a 3 bedroom, one box room house..kitchen, longue..2 bathroom, back yard...and we paid like 850 pounds mer month...bills including water and electric might have come to like 150? something like that...
And in an average a graduate would make something along 18k to 27k per year..so do the math...
Hope it was helpful..tc...

Its ok ...The cost of living in the UK is high but it depends on where your work is. I will try and break it down for you what you can expect to pay in the UK:
2 Bedroom Flat - £600 (outside London fully furnished.
Electricity- 3 months bill with southern electric, N power (£180).
Water- £60- £70 (3 months).
Council Tax (depending where you stay)- £60-£80
TV licence (when u pay quaterly)- £141 so monthly about £33.
Virgin Media phone, broadband and TV (Package)- £30 with just a minmal amount of stations.
That is what we pay basically outside London up north.

Mr Paul.... ...As far as i know i used to live in west London and my council was £1200 per yr....so has definitely not gone down at all...

Council ...tax varies by the property and the location.
The house we had in the UK (4 bed detached) is now charged in the region of £1,500 a year and that's in Doncaster, 180 miles north of London.

Really if your looking for a ...Really if your looking for a one bed it should be easy to find one in London for 700 pounds. It will be more in croyden or east london type areas. Anything near Oxford will cost you 1000 plus.
Go outside london and you will definately find a flat for 600 pounds a month. However I warn you that it may not be in ideal area. And you may like to splash out for safety reasons.
Go further afield say up north in one of the smaller cities and you can find some in the city center even cheaper then that. In durham I saw 1 bedroom flats rent for less than 500 pounds a month.
I reckon that including food, utilities, council taxes and transportation you can get by on a tight budget of about 1000 pounds a month.
Certainly by uk standards your salary is very good. One of my best friends is a pharmacist.. new grad and earns about 25k a year. Apparantly only senior pharmacists earn more then 45k. So your doing pretty well.
