I am considering applying for a job in Amsterdam - the salary is between 40000 and 45000. I think that would be between 1941 and 2174 per month after tax.

Financial commitments (a loan) I have in the UK mean I would have to transfer 550 or so each month.

Realistically speaking, would I be able to survive after transferring this?

Ideally I'd like to live in a studio flat and cycle everywhere.
