If the accomodation is included along with school fees for the kids then I would say yes, if not you will be struggling to survive once all the taxes has been taken off.

Hi. 360 Nok-hr is a good solid wage. Rent for a family of four in Sandvika is going to be at least 8000-10000 a month,electric 1500,food 8000. I am a family of five, wife and three small children and our current budget is 35000 a month. That includes everything- house, bills, transport,food etc. I earn 227 per hour as a plumber and gas fitter and after tax that works out to be around 27000. My wife earn 8000 aftertax and we recieve 3000 from government for child support. We dont live a lavish life and we have to be carefull what we spend but we have a good car and own our own house. So it all depends on your lifestyle. Goodluck
