To live in France what is the minimum amount one should earn to leave a family with two kids independently.?

Question

A proposal has come to India to marry away a girl in France. I want to know how much the boy should earn to live decently staying in an independent accomodation with wife and two kids. Note that I do not want the wife to go for earning.

Answer 1

The mean annual salary in France is  Ã¢Â‚¬70,126 for  professionals such as Physicians and Barristers and €39,360 for Executives and management staff.

The net average annual earnings was €20,440 in 2004.

Answer 2

In Europe the wife has to go  for earning as you put it its impossible to live decently otherwise. I guess you need over 20,000€ yearly and more if the wife is not working to live a decent life.

Answer 3

It depends in what place....because life is most expensive in Paris and great towns...but more attractive...

It depends also on the age of the kids, if they go in a private school.....

I would say, to live decently in Paris, you have to earn at least 3000 euros per month for 4 people, 4000 euros is better.

To rent a flat you have to pay at least 1200 to 1500 euros for a 3 rooms flat.

Answer 4

Around 3000 euro after tax would be enought but hard in Paris.

4000 would be better for 4 people to live a good live.

I know some who live in Paris suburb with half of it.
