My total costs of living in Norway in 2022

I don't understand why everyone thinks America is cheaper than Norway when I pay far more than that per month to live Maine in a three person family. Unless I'm missing something, Scandinavian living is actually cheaper than Maine living by almost 1000 USD a month, and I'm in Maine, not New York City here. America's just getting way too expensive, we're hoping to move to Norway one day as it's kind of our dream land.

[@LongStep]

Thank you for the detail. It helps to visualize and plan what I need from a job.

[@sarainnorway]

Your welcome! When are you coming to norway?

I don’t understand why this channel has only 2k subs. You're doing a great job. Thank you

Thanks for sharing. We were in Norway for five days last month and yes it was a little bit expensive. But for us it helped us that the dollar was Strong

You are very welcome

[@ournordiclife]

I need that spreadsheet!!!

[@anitakroon777]

Hello! Wanted to ask if this part, what goes for a house, is double also or not? Or double amount is only kindergarten and bills... And about electr.- what kind of heating system do you have? I guess for those who have mostly electric radiators, would be this cost much higher? Thank you! Best Anita

[@antoineblais1132]

Thanks for the info, Sara. My wife and I are hopefully moving there by this time next year so it's good to have a general idea of what we need.

[@sarainnorway]

Oh that is so exiting! Let me know if you have any questions. Happy to help with helpful videos.

[@lauralane586]

Thought I would share an insight by comparing an avg cost of childcare and food here in the US to this budget in Norway... the average US parent will spend $200 a week ($800usd a month) on childcare while according to this budget the Norwegian equivalent is $300usd a month... My partner and I (w/o children) budget $650usd per month for food (and we eat frugally), while this budget spends $650usd per month on food with children. When accounting for the cost of student loan repayment, the US standard cost of living skyrockets. I would love to find a way to live in Europe someday! Thanks for sharing your budget it is a great tool for seeing the break down of daily life there.

[@astrid-nil]

Thank you so much! 🙂

[@sarainnorway]

No problem - are you moving to Norway?

[@sayantanchowdhury9946]

If we don't take a car and want to travel via public transport, how much should we set aside per month for that?

[@TheKisspeti]

Nice video, thank you so much for the clarification! Could you maybe tell more information regarding your car, is an electric one? Or just about cars in general in Norway. I am planning to move to Norway in 3-4 months and I am really not sure if it is better to buy a car in Norway or import my car from abroad.

[@Wolffjord]

There are HUGE import taxes for cars. It's not convenient at all to bring your own car into Norway. You will have one year to register your car and when you will do, the cost will be about 50% of the original cost of the car (as new)

[@christopherlilly8128]

Does the utilities include the rent for the current place you live in?

[@kamrankhan-xu6sr]

As i am watching this video after 11 months it gets posted. Would you please update about 2BHK house rent now in neighbourhood of OSLO.

[@AnneLisbeth]

In Norway you pay a lot of taxes, but they cover most of the health services. For instance if you have to stay in hospital for any reason, you will not pay for that. If you get medical treatment and see a doctor you will pay up to a certain sum . The amount exceeding this will be free.

[@asadbutt8041]

I have an Italian eu card nd my wife has Italian passport we wanted to move to Norway how can we do that please guide us

[@Mmmmbrett]

That’s not bad at all. I’m going to get a second home there one day.

[@x_xx3x]

DoI get kind of share house to rent in Norway?

[@spieha]

Hi, so u spent 28k nok, the lowest u csn get is 196,5 per hour, it gives 1568 per day, so its almost 33k per month (5 days a week 8 hour job) am i correct? How many hours in month do normal people work there? For me a polish guy (1 polski zloty =2,31 nok) who gets 18 polski zloty per hour (around 41nok)of work its unbeliveable, i literally want to just all in to norway atm. If u would answer my question it would be an honor to me :D And 1 more thing, 196 is before taxes, how much stays for you and how much from 196 u pay in taxes?

Hello Sara, enjoying your videos, loving your American accent .

[@sarainnorway]

Thank you!!

The American accent is actually a Danish accent. As a Norwegian i could tell that she was Danish by the accent before looking up her info 😂🤗🇧🇻

Your total bill of 28,583 kroner is cheap compared here in San Francisco, California. For a Family of 4 people you need to earn $10,000 a month net or 100,000 Norwegian kroner to make both ends meet.

[@NollyPelobueno-zw6ul]

One Nok (1 )- how much equivalent to one dollar u.s.

[@Wolffjord]

These are cost per capita, not the total cost. Now I can relate to them. I will need to ask you where you do your dekk (600 nok total is cheap)

What is a "municipality fee?" Is that like an HOA fee, like a fee you pay for neighborhood upkeep?

[@erickpalacios8904]

Probably similar to council tax in the UK.

Great video! Based on your experience, how much do you think you have to earn to live a comfortable life in Oslo if you are by yourself? Thank you for the videos and the info!

[@sarainnorway]

Between 400-500.000 , in Oslo - you have a short distance to everything - so you do not spent a lot of money on transportation like I do. Do you wanna live in Norway?

vicvital. Easy to find the answer on internet.

[@stevenjohnson7086]

Hilarious! Oh, they have free education and medical! Nope. Pay here, pay there, pay the municipality, pay sales tax, pay some more… Nothing… NOTHING… is “free” Your budget is almost exactly the same cost as my California budget. But we never paid for kindergarten… but plenty of school expenses anyway. It seems like the cost of my communist union-negotiated health and dental plan is much better than what I’m learning about what Norwegians have. Thank you for sharing!

[@geiryvindeskeland7208]

stevenjohnson. You are right, litterally it’s not free, but . . . In 2022, I had inguinal hernia surgery. After three days I was sent home, but I got an infection and spent four more days in the hospital. I don’t remember if I paid 35 or 40$. 40$ is not free, but. . . From internet: Americans earning average wages need to work 484 hours to afford a typical hospital stay. The average per-day hospital cost is $2,883. Average earning among private U.S. workers are $33.82 an hour.

[@geiryvindeskeland7208]

No, I am sorry! Not 484 hours, but 384 hours.

[@stevenjohnson7086]

@@geiryvindeskeland7208 Yes, I understand that point about American healthcare expenses. The Affordable Healthcare Act (ObamaCare) was intended to eliminate that problem, but as usual politics got in the way, and a lot of good things got trashed. Part of the way it was to eliminate that problem was that every American would be required to obtain some sort of healthcare insurance. A KZbin comment section is not a good place for such a complex and complicated discussion, unfortunately. Of course, I cannot speak for every American, but I have a well-paying working class job and my healthcare plan by is United Healthcare. I pay $384 per month for that, and I have co-pays and a few deductibles. I think one of my deductibles is $500, but my average co-pay is $25 to $40 depending on service. The rest of the expenses are covered by UHC ~ So I think there are probably some places in America where the insurance is terrible, and I’ve seen some of those rates. I believe my insurance is pretty good, and I’ve had UHC since 1999 and I am definitely a believer in that there is no such thing as a free lunch. We all have to pay somehow. And I know there are a lot of American jobs here that have just awful health insurance.
