IS 72K NZD IT Analyst Salary GOOD??

Question

Hi There,

Is 72K NZD p.a for an IT analyst (around 4 years exp) a good salary in Christchurch, New Zealand?

I've abosolutely no idea about it. Please assist me. Also it would be better if you could give me any idea about the living cost and some details like that.

Cheers

Answer 1

yea that's pretty good.  most people are earning (and struggling) on 30-40k.

Christchurch is cheaper than Auckland in terms of rent, and the housing market is falling at the moment so hopefully houses will get a bit cheaper than they have been!

Answer 2

yes, thats a good salary and a nice place to live also.  House's can cost from NZD 150,000 to 450,000 depends area you would like to live.  Food one person no more than 80-100 per week.  gas and power shouldn't be more than 150 - 200 per month.    

Answer 3

It seems a bit light as most of my mates that have been working about 4 to 5 years are more like $150 to $180k, I would keep looking
