Hello All,

I don't want to get into the "what's a good or bad salary" thing, because we all know it all depends, so with that in mind, what would be a **average** mid-class (close to high) salary to live in Barcelona?

If you could just think of a number what would it be?

Thank you.

Hi! After tax I know some language teachers that earn 700-900euro a month, IT / Financial Analysts on 1200-1400euro per month and sales execs on 1500-2000euro. All depends on qualifications and language skills. These are just people I know so it is a ruff estimate. Enough to survive!

Much lower than the UK, on average half. Spain has some of the lowest wages in Europe, a hangover from Franco's time.
Its not the country to come to for money - for life style definitely, but for salary afraid not.
Saying that IT jobs pay better than other professions.
