Hi piyush..what is the currency conversion rate.can we save better than India ?

[@pikeypiyush]

Hi Saleela. Thanks for connecting. The currency conversion currently is around 84 rupees I.e. 1 euro is equal to 83 INR. Yes you can save if you are single or if both husband and wife work.

[@pikeypiyush]

Hello. You try funda.nl

[@user-fk6mx9bt6x]

How much this

[@brunowario5169]

Hi piyush. I'm offered 70k euro and I'm moving there after 3 months. For now it's just me and my wife. No kids atm. What is the tax like and can we save? My wife can't work there.

[@pikeypiyush]

Hi. Thanks for connecting. Your tentative net in hand would be between 4k to 4.5k max per month ( depends upon multiple factors and components part of your salary) which is good enough for a couple. Savings all depends upon your expenses though your total expenses should be between 2.3 k to 2.8k max hence you can save accordingly. Hope this helps. Thanks

@@pikeypiyush Thanks man. How about with 30% ruling tax benefit which is for expats for 5 years. With dutch tax calculator it says i can save around 5.2k

Hello piyush. Very informative video. If i have a budget of 1200, and can commute 45min-1hr towards amsterdam, which places should i start searching?

[@pikeypiyush]

Hello Sachin. Thanks for connecting. To be very honest I would say wherever you get an accomodation. It's very hard to get accomodation here. There are many places in and around Amsterdam however not that easy to get and also is quite expensive. All the best mate.

so the rent is like €1850 or is this the total price of the apartment ?

1850 was including rent and utilities at that time. Though the rent is increasing now. You get the same apartment at around 1850 without the utilities now.

[@pikeypiyush]

Hi Sandra. Good morning. Shared apartment with family? How will you share someone's apartment with your family? Or are you the one who needs an apartment with a family? Not that easy though. Try looking on funda.nl . Also depends upon which do you want to live?

[@sandrahoogerdijk9752]

@pikeypiyush Yeah, I was looking for a shared apartment for myself. Thanks for your valuable reply.

[@pikeypiyush]

Sandra, there are maakelars and agents who can help you with finding one. Depends upon which city you need. I can try and help you in finding a few. Do you have any specific city that you plan to live in?

[@sandrahoogerdijk9752]

@pikeypiyush I would like to live in a city where there are great opportunities for jobs and transports are easily available

Hi Piyush!! Me, my husband and my 6yrs old kid moving to netherland on 2nd june. How to get apartment or house for rent? Searching in pararius and funda last 15days but nothing works.. Can you please suggest 1or2 bhk apartment/house at range 1200-1400euro?Job location is in Amstelveen. Comfortable in 30min distance from there.

[@pikeypiyush]

Hi Satabdi. Thanks for connecting. Good that you are trying via Funda and pararius however it is really difficult to get an apartment. You may have to come over and search for it here. You have rental agents who can help you find one with fee. However they charge a whopping amount of about a month rent as their fee. There are maakelars who do not charge anything. You have to try it all. If you want me to help you find an accommodation, you can share me your contact number and I can ask few maakelars and agents to help you find one. It's not that easy to find an apartment while you are still in India. Keep trying.

Hello Tejashri. Congratulations on the opportunity and your decision to move to the Netherlands. Best is to keep looking on Funda and parius. It is really very difficult to find one these days. Best is to find a maakelaar who can suggest some. Let me also see and suggest if possible. Thanks

[@tejashrikharwade1662]

@@pikeypiyush Thanks Piyush for suggestions. I have two questions- 1. How much agent charge for property 2. How much deposit owner ask.

[@pikeypiyush]

Hi Tejashri. Very good questions indeed. 1. Agent asks for straight 1 month rent as their fee however few maakelaars do not charge the tenants at all. Agent and maakelars are different category here. 2. Owners asks for 2-3 months as security deposit. However it is negotiable sometimes if you have a good owner and type of property. Hope you understand what I mean. Feel free to ask any questions that you may have. Thanks

How can I book apartment from India before Relocation to NL

[@pikeypiyush]

Hi Shridutt. Thanks for connecting. To be honest it is not easy to find an apartment there days and that too while not being physically available here makes it even more challenging. You can try on Funda or Facebook groups. A broker can help you out slightly with a fee of about 1 month rent.

@@pikeypiyush can you share number of any trusted broker if you have?

[@mortalsting]

Why would you think you Can even relocate to NL? You need to have a very good reason to be here otherwise the government won't even let you stay here. That should be your start point- a very, very good reason to be here. Why do people from sertain countries think they can live anywhere they want? You absolutely can't!

To have some commonly incurred expenses in Netherlands you may check my Netherlands play list on My channel and check cost of Living in Netherlands video. Also if you tell me bit more so I will be in a better situation to help explain the cost and tentative minimum salary requirements. Thanks

[@IndianGirlInVancouver]

@@pikeypiyush Hey, we will be moving as couple and we are also considering canada and Australia offers. So just want to make sure which one is good from perspective of savings and career growth

[@pikeypiyush]

Hello Monika. To be very honest canada and Australia do have an edge here due to Dutch language here in Netherlands though most of the people know English however they start with Dutch. Also most of the places here yiu would find written in Dutch which becomes a problem and you have to use Google translate all the time. Likewise Australia and Canada, Netherlands also has lot if opportunities for jobs and there are many Indians here too. I assume that you do not have kids right now so you can still consider Netherlands for next 5 years however may be better to move somewhere else at a later stage due to Dutch education and language taught in schools.

[@pikeypiyush]

For a couple 4k euros net per month is more than sufficient with savings to live here. Even if one of you work with 4k euros per month you can live easily here. 2nd person working is forsure an added advantage and you can save total earnings from the 2nd person. Hope you understand. Feel free to ask anything else if required. Thanks

@ pikey piyush- I have one question. Let's say if I am registered in the Amstelveen Expat center / Amstelveen municipality then is there any rule that I have to find a rented house in the Amstelveen area only? Can I rent somewhere else i.e. Utrecht?

[@pikeypiyush]

Hi Arindam. You have to register at the respective municipality each time to change your house. So if you move out of amstelveen, so you have to register at the municipality of new location.

Also, if you change your house within amstelveen itself, than too you have to register again at the municipality with your new rental contract and address.

I can give you an approximate idea. 1BHK - Between 1400 - 1750 € Food- 350 - 550 € Health Insurance - 130 € per person Travel - 100 € per person. Rental cost is tentative and depends upon which city you live. Food cost depends upon what you guys likes to eat. If you like to party few times in a month you can add another 500 minimum. Hope this helps.
