This is a simplified planning estimate. It is not tax, legal, payroll or financial advice.
Quick answer: what number should you use?
For rent and moving decisions, use the estimated monthly net salary rather than gross pay. Then subtract rent, utilities, food, transport and a realistic reserve. A job offer that looks strong on gross salary can still feel tight if the apartment cost is high.
Estimate net pay
Enter the gross salary from the offer and keep the result as a planning range.
Compare rent
Use rent as a share of net salary, not as a share of gross salary.
Add normal life
Include food, transport, utilities, phone, health and basic personal costs.
Keep a buffer
Deposits, moving costs and paperwork can arrive before the first stable month.

Many people compare rent with gross salary. For real affordability, compare rent with estimated net salary and leave a reserve.
