Finland Salary Guide

Hi All, I am an Indian process engineer (Graduate Chemical Engineer) with 11 years of experience and have received a job offer for the post of Senior Process Engineer in Helsinki. The offer is for a monthly gross salary of Euro 5000. I need the advice of the boarders here about whether this is a good number to accept? I am married with no kids and have a modest living standard. How much can I expect to save monthly/yearly out of this salary? Will asking for Euro 6000 p.m. in counter offer be a bad idea?

Bargain on your own risk if required. Yes you can check the average salaries overview at http://www.glassdoor.com might you find reviews about the same companies by there employees.

You must know the Indian government recently signed contract with Finnish Social Security Services - mainly related to pensions etc Better find out locally what that agreement stands for,

After paying taxes - you still can save that depend on your life style and hobbies. As far as the figure is concerned - it is a good figure in general and its above average

Well its just and just at the income requirement bracket. If you start to then calculate what expenses are.... rent, electricity, your bus pass, and then enough potatoes to last the month, you won't have to worry about having anything in hand.
