My Monthly Expenses in Germany: What Life Actually Costs 🇩🇪

A salary of €75,000 gross per year sounds like a lot. But after taxes and social contributions, how much do you actually take home? And more importantly, how much does a normal family spend every month in Germany? In this video, I use my real family expenses in Germany as an example to show what everyday life can actually cost. This is not a generic “cost of living in Germany” calculation. I'm sharing my own experience so you can see where the money goes in a normal month. We look at: • Average salaries in Germany • €75,000 gross salary and approximate take-home pay • Rent and housing costs • Electricity and internet • Rundfunkbeitrag • Food and household expenses • Restaurant costs • Car subscription and fuel • Germany's Deutschlandticket • School and children's activities • How much a family can actually spend every month • What can potentially be left after monthly expenses One of the biggest changes I noticed after moving to Germany was the increase in food and electricity costs, particularly after the Russia–Ukraine war. And this is something I think people should consider when comparing salaries between India and Germany: Don't just look at the gross salary. Look at your net salary, your lifestyle and your actual monthly expenses. The numbers in this video are based on my family's situation and are not meant to represent the average German family. Everyone's expenses will be different depending on their city, rent, family size, lifestyle and transportation. If you're planning to move to Germany, work in Germany, or are simply curious about the cost of living in Germany, I hope this gives you a more realistic picture.
