Considering the minimum wage in Malta is less than 1k a month and you will be earning more than double that, should manage just fine. As regarding taxes, I understand we pay 10% for National Insurance and in your case around 15-20% in Income Tax. That should leave you with around 1.5k in hand nonetheless.

As regarding costs, check my previous reply above cause should apply to you too. I reckon you should manage to save 500 euros a month, maybe not the first few months until you settle in and buy some extraordinary stuff.

I got an offer from Malta for 25k euros annually (before tax). I am now living in India. If I relocate with my family members (wife and 8 years old daughter), what will be the approximate cost of living for things such as tax, school fees, transport and food etc. Can we live well with such wages in Malta? can we save at least 30% of our income. Thanks in advance.

That’s about 1,600 euros gross a month and most probably will receive in hand something less than 1,200 euros. With that amount of money available I understand you can live comfortably, then again will depend your standard of living. Some people can cope with much less, some others will want more just to cover their monthly costs.

Will list you what I think are the generic monthly costs here just for reference. Let’s say rent for a basic apartment will cost 300 euros, food shopping maybe 200 euros, water & electricity another 100 euros, telephone & internet 50 euros, etc. Following this reasoning, one will need around 700 euros in total to cover necessities.

However you could easily reach 1000 euros a month in costs if you opt for a nicer apartment, include transport costs, etc. I would say that 19k euros a year, would be an above average wage.

Hope I helped you out a bit

Very nice website.

I would like to ask you something, the minimum wage seems quite low in Malta, I was offered a job in Sliema for 19k euros per year (before tax). Do you think it is a decent wage, can I live well with such wages in Malta?
