According to Chris Chasteen, Research Director at the Economic Research Institute ERI, in Germany, a gross salary between 64,000 and 70,000 euros per year is considered good.
This is about 3,300 to 3,600 euros net per month. Wages are slightly higher in Berlin compared to other German cities, but the cost of living remains lower than in London and Paris.
In the UK, a good monthly net salary ranges between 2,500 and 3,300 pounds about 2,962 to 3,915 euros.

In France, the average salary is 2,587 euros per month, but a good salary for a comfortable life in France is around 3,200 euros per month for a single person. In Paris, you need at least 3,400 euros.
In Spain, a good salary is considered around 2,700 euros per month for a single person, but it goes up to 3,185 euros in Madrid, where wages are about 18% above the national average.
Meanwhile, in Rome, a good salary usually ranges from 3,750 euros to 5,690 euros.
Meanwhile, in the rest of Europe, people's satisfaction with their financial situation ranges from 39% in Athens to 87% in Luxembourg.
Northern and western EU countries generally report higher satisfaction.
