How to go to Austria
nein, bei mir ist es genau so teuer wie in Österreich ,och warte ich wohne ja hier😂
In Lisbon is expensive when we look at the salaries average. I think there can be less expensive than Vienna, but actually, I earn less too. Great video.
Hello!
Can you tell me plz how much per hour is paid to international student for 20 work hour per weak in Linz,austria?
I would be waiting.
@Noah P Okay.Can you tell that how much paid per hour to students,plz?
You can almost cut grocery costs in half if you go to Lidl/Hofer/Penny instead of Billa/Spar/Merkur.
Is there a catch to the lower prices?
@@sambridhathapa4313 Quality I guess
All of middleclass goes to lidl hofer penny etc...so ...
Completely agree. Also, read the labels. Often the cheapest products are better than the expensive ones. Trust me, you dont need to pay 1.89€ for that ketchup. The one for 0.89€ is just as good.
@@AustrianTutorialHD Not really, I consistently get better quality in Hofer than brandnames in Billa
What a lovely video! Thank you very much for the effort and really useful information!!!
Thank you for the insights. Very helpful.
The San Francisco comparison was really helpful. Love the channel.
thanks for the information!
wow that was such a helpful video with so many useful websites thank you guys!!!!!
This is nice and informative video. Thank you very much.
Regarding food, it might be a little expensive in some shops, but a large majority of the food is directly from Austria, supporting the local producers. A lot of places (and/or products) also state whether the product was genetically modified so a lot of food is quite healthy (hence higher prices). Furthermore, there are a lot of farmer markets around as well, so if you want to support your own local farmers, it's easy to do so :) It's something I love about Austria
Hello, Im a fan here. Great video. Thank you for sharing these video. This will help those who are planning to live and work or tourist in Austria. More power to your channel.
Lovely
vielen Dank
nützlich tipps
This is really helpful! I've been thinking of moving to Austria after I finish my studies in Germany. Could you do a video on the pros and cons of living in Vienna?
Sure! :)
@@PetraBotekova Thanks for replying! Means a lot! :)
Welcome ❤
You need a cheap Job paying at least 2000 Euro brutto. (Lower will hurt a lot.) The employer has to deliver your tax and compulsory social security contributions to the competent authorities. You will get monthly paid, 14 times a year (12 month wages in netto, plus Christmas and holiday benefits as extra payment). In Austria taxes and contributions might be about 1/3 of your income (brutto), the rest of your wage (in netto) is sent monthly to your bank account. Social insurance covers the costs for illness, hospital, medical bills, medication, child birth, dental costs, accidents at work, unemployment and pension insurance. (You can also get private insurance for better services.) (If you have more than one employer, better ask your tax office for advice.)
So you will get out of 2000.- per month brutto about 1300 - 1400 Euro netto. You have to count for a one-room-appartement unfurnished about 400-500 Euros plus cost for electricity and water (30 - 40 Euro), plus about 60 - 90 for internet, TV and phone per month. Larger appartements will cost you about 400.- more for each additive room. For daily purchases, if you are economical, you need around 100-150.- per week, for one person. What is left of the wage can be spent on restaurants, cinemas, transportation, hairdressers etc. In the big cities, public transport is well developed, unfortunately not in the country. Having your own car is very expensive, be it in terms of taxes, etc., be it because of the expensive gasoline, and parking spaces are rare.
As everywhere, you can only live carefree in Austria if you earn well and the job is also secure. On the other hand, you live relatively safely in Austria, in a beautiful landscape, with a lot of culture and good schools and universities.
Full-time jobs, i.e. around 40 hours per week: a waitress will earn around 1200 euros netto a month, a secretary around 1600 euros netto, a skilled worker, a nurse or teacher around 2200 euros, middle management earns around 2500 - 3000 euros, and academics and doctors depending on the contract (and if full-time) even more.
@@SusiBlumentopf wow thx for breaking it down.
It is greatly appreciated if you put those websites links in the description field. Thanks for the video. Thumbs up. 👍
I enjoyed this.
Yay :)

Thank you very much, your video was very helpful. My husband and I are traveling to Zurich in July and we plan on taking a trip up to Austria.
The cost of living in my city is more expensive but we pay less income tax. My cellphone bill is about 120$ a month, my house payment is 2,700$ a month and food cost is about 900$ a month.
Thanks a lot )
This is off topic, we're looking to do a side trip to Vienna for 1-3 days this summer. Where is the most centralized place to visit and what cultural things to do there? Thank you.
Well I just discovered you and your RUclips channel dear and I think you're doing a good job! I've lived in Southern California my whole life and I hope to get out of here someday soon! I am seriously looking into living somewhere in Europe because I know that I can have an overall better quality of life. It's interesting that you did some comparisons to San Fran in your video because that is one of THE MOST expensive places in the US to live besides Boston and NY! LOL Please continue to do your good work and don't hesitate to provide as much info as you can, I definitely appreciate it!
Before you move to Austria, make sure you check the weather by comparing it to Southern California. If you like sun shine you will be disappointed. There are a lot of cloudy, foggy, dreary days. I used to live in Austria but i am now in Virginia since over 35 years and I can tell you I love it here.

I've really fallen in Love with Austria having spent a break away traveling around the country. Very interested in the idea of moving to Austria. I would definitely need to brush up on the language. Is it hard to find work?

Hi, I have been working as Medical Transcriptionist for US Hospitals for 14 years, I am from Indian and 41 years old. Can I get job in Austria, please suggest.
I lived in Tirol as a kid. Now Canada for most of my life, but I'm thinking about moving back. Good Video!
@Philo Jones
Right you are! I found most basic amenities were cheaper in Austria but housing taxes and fuel prices were considerably higher. Which is logical.
But most importantly, government run industries actually tend to make sense in Europe. I will be a lot happier keeping more of my hard earned monies instead of giving it away.
I am in italy can i do jobs in Austria ?
Grocery shopping would be way cheaper in Hungary n Germany
Groceries are very cheap in Germany compared to Austria, but Hungary is even cheaper.
What do you mean with "Bio"???
Organic?
I want to study at Insburk, is there any job
Food and rent in Vienna is slightly more expensive than Lyon
I think Italy is more less or cheaper than Austria…. anyways,what is the one multi supermarkets they have there?eg:Italy here,the name is "eurospin"
Italy is considerably cheaper than Austria. The multi supermarket you can find everywhere is "Billa".

Hello
Can you find me a job in Austria ..thanks
is there available job to get in Austria?And also how much cost for a month include house,phone,food and living life.Like i’m saying at least cost per month....
If you are a skilled worker with skills Austria needs, or someone with a high education, it is not the problem. Without - yes, we have to many of those here from abroad. They earn, if they even find a job, very low wages which hardly covers the costs of living here.
You need a cheap Job paying at least 2000 Euro brutto. (Lower will hurt a lot.) The employer has to deliver your tax and compulsory social security contributions to the competent authorities.

Social insurance covers the costs for illness, hospital, medical bills, medication, child birth, dental costs, accidents at work, unemployment and pension insurance. (You can also get private insurance for better services.) (If you have more than one employer, better ask your tax office for advice.)
So you will get out of 2000.- per month brutto about 1300 - 1400 Euro netto. You have to count for a one-room-appartement unfurnished about 400-500 Euros plus cost for electricity and water (30 - 40 Euro), plus about 60 - 90 for internet, TV and phone per month.

When i buy apples i pay 2€ for 3 Kilos! For bread i pay 1,20 € ! Your examples are on the expensive side!Go to LIDL/Hofer or Penny! Of corse apartements in the city are the most expensiv(in every city of the world)!
I think it's good to be shown a little more expensive way, than too cheap. People will be surprised by how good the prices are. And prepared, because they will save some money. Fitness in McFit cost half of 55e.
I love live there with my brothers and leave hells
dont know if its just me,maybe i heard wrong, did ome gal say 177euros for 3 apples?
😂😂 don't think so
4:43 the store BILLA is expensive
And i know it cuz i live in austria
Yap, it is more expensive then some other supermarkets.
oh i live in Salzburg, Austria ... what i see here is more expansiver then you show it here ...
my bf living salzburg austria and soon i move austria
Question. Are people treated differently based off of which part of Austria they live? Do they look down on them? Rude to them? That sort of thing
Not really. In the east and in larger cities people will be more open, the more west the society gets more closed. You will get a heard time if you cannot speak Austrian German or at least good English, and if you insist being a foreigner disrespecting local traditions, habits, dressing. You might be "tested" be rude questions (or what you believe are so meant), but do not take that too seriously, stay friendly, calm and by the truth, and learn the language! So you will be accepted.
Comparing with US, Turkey etc., German sounds hard and we use other polite phrases, come in talkings straight to the point. Therefore, Austrians and Germans seem to be more "rude", loud and less polite, which is not really the case. Even when the Austrian language sounds much "softer".
What if I need unlimited internet global and local/national minutes and texts? What company is best?
There are only very expensive mobile plans which include unlimited internet. However, cheaper plans already include a lot of data. Check out "Drei", i got a mobile plan with 20GB, unlimited minutes and SMS locally for 20€/month. For internet I would aim for static internet, these are all unlimited trafficwise. I would check out Drei for that too, since you get a discount on it if you have a mobile with them (even more when you have two within the same household).

The salaries for professionals are very low compared to the US and the cost of living is just as high as it is in LA.
I was thinking the same. The salaries are so low and the cost of living is high. Scary.
For me the living costs are comparably as in smaller cities in US, and the wages netto too. BUT: in Austria is health insurance, retirement, child birth etc. INCLUDED and we have double on holidays and 5 weeks vacation INCLUDED, so even with higher taxes you get much more out of your wage.

@@SusiBlumentopf Many many thanks Susi for this. I am from SA and interested in moving to Austria. This is very helpful.
@@junacrause8688 well, Austria has some difficulties now on jobs due to pandemic, but if you have some skills and are willing to work and to learn, you should find a job. In some preferred regions it is even harder to find a small flat. Nearly everyone here can speak more or less English, but you still have to learn (Austrian) German as soon as possible, that is very much appreciated. The Austrians are also usually testing newbies - you will have to earn their respect. You will not get it for free. Stay polite, kind, nice, be busy, be always on time and do your job correctly, and they will start to give you slowly their trust and friendship. Otherwise you will get a hard time. Be interested in traditions and history. Austria is a lovely and very old country, mostly safe, a good place to stay. The prices and wages are more or less comparable to other states like Germany or France.
@@SusiBlumentopf Amen on all of the above. That is exactly how i portrayed it. Many thanks for your quick reply. I am to do all ny research and i am praying for clear directions.

Hi there, can you please tell us about the benefits of living in Austria and becoming and Austrian citizen/resident. Does everyone have health care? hows the unemployment support and the social care system in Austria? food quality, traffic and transportation. Thank you so much.
You have to get either a student permission for university or a working permission and visa from an Austrian Consulate from abroad first. To get a working permission, you need to find a good job in Austria first, e.g. by newspaper. German language or at least a good English is helpful. You also have to have in Austria needed working skills or a high education. If not, the chance to get a permission is nearly zero, because Austria already has to many foreign workers with no skills here, earning so less money, that they hardly can afford the high living costs here. High education means: at least college. - Academics will get a green card in some professions.
If you get a working permission, and work here for three years, you will get a permanent visa, and after 10 years you might get Austrian citizenship, which will costs a few thousand Euros. But only by giving up your citizenship of your homeland (exception:. the state is neutral, like Switzerland). Austria is a neutral state, with only 8.5 million inhabitants.

How different is Austria from Switzerland
Switzerland is way much expensive (in everything)
Switzerland has Italians and Frenchmen too. Austria just has Germans.
@@oilersridersbluejays and serbisch people :D
Switzerland is different than Germany and Austria, each state has different rules. Switzerland is less social, the living costs are extraordinary high and so the wages as well. Switzerland is very, very traditional, but a safe and beautiful country. With emough money, you can live everywhere a good life - without, nowhere.
How do I engage in Austrian jobs
I am indian
You need a workers permission from an Austrian Consulate abroad or a University study permission. For a workers permision and visa you need to find a possible job in Austria first; German or at least English is helpful. Jobs are e.g. written in newspapers. If you do not have needed skills and high education, it will be hard to get a working permission. For academics a special green card exists. Without needed skills there will hardly a job be found, and the very low earnings will be far under the necessary living costs.

Grocery is much more expensive in Austria than in the States
Michael Ju No, food is cheaper than in the US, also organic food. I live in OR and miss the good food. The grocery stores in the US are so ugly (except Whole Foods Market, Trader Joe’s and New Seasons Market).
But V.A.T. is included in the shown price!
Groceries are taxed 10-20 percent.
I bet it is expensive
I am looking for 200 euro private room,bathroom and kitchen in the perimeter of Vienna.
30% income tax is very high, at least you get a return from the government
Try living in Canada.
@Jocke S Don't frighten everyone now lol.
The tax get more if you get more payed up to 50% ;) . But for that you can look into the calculatior.
The girls counted all taxes and compulsory social security contributions together as if it was the same.
