Moving to Prague from the UK.

Hello. I was recently invited for a job interview in the Czech (Prague) and just today got an offer for the job. I was wondering how much it would cost me to live in the city central and food costs. I would also be interested to know how the prices of electronics compare to the UK for example.

I have been offered a annually pay of 1,020,701 CZK (around 85k a month). I was wondering if this pay would be good enough to get a flat in the central of Prague and still have money left at the end of the month.

Thanks,
Daniel

Hello Daniel,

I am Czech so I think I am able to answer your questions.

The living costs depends on the part of the city where you want to live. For attempt flats in or close to the centre of Prague are the most expensive. If you decide to live on the periphery, you will find out that the flats are much less expensive.

If you are offered by a gross wage 85 000 CZK (net wage = 60 000 CZK) per month, you will be certainly able to live like a king. Of course you can rent a very luxury flat for 50 000 CZK per month but average costs are about 15 - 20 000 CZK per month.

Here you can find some links where you can buy some electronics and where you can compare the prices.

Hi Dan, I think you will be able to find 2 rooms appartment in the city center for around 15 000 CZK. We have looked for more of them in my company offering help to expatriots moving to Prague, and I also helped a lot of my friends - foreigners finding great place for a good value. Be careful while moving and signing the contract. Sometimes agencies think, that when you are foreigner, they can charge you more. It is better to take Czech person with you. Let me know if I can help. My email is lenka.halasova@comn.eu
