Hi;

Just wondering if 20,000 EEK per month (gross) salary is reasonable enough to support a non-working spouse and two children.

I'm an accountant with 7 years experience in Europe, Asia and Australia - partly completed CPA qualification etc.

It's quite a good salary by Estonian standards, but you'll have to live frugally. I live supporting a family of six on that amount, but don't have to pay for housing, and, frankly, any travelling on that budget is out of the question for me. Where do you think you'll live? Tallinn is more expensive than the rest of the country. Clothing and electronics are quite expensive, but food is okay. Heating runs me about 4-6,000 eek monthly in the winter. Children's health insurance is covered, but anything serious will probably need to be checked outside the country. On the bright side, there is a lot to do here if you want to explore this country and enjoy what is available. The people are lovely, if not so swift on customer service. Do your homework.
