You should look at this discussion. Note that he is giving his net salary.

Afaik, a 3500 EUR gross salary in Hungary is the range, for example, for kind of senior IT people or upper-middle management of a larger firm. While there are some people above that level, I think it is safe to say, only a few % of the population earn that much every month.
High-school teachers start about a net 100k p.m., university teachers with phd about net 140-250k p.m. - but they are not perceived as well off, unfortunately.

A word of warning: the present government changed the tax system radically, introducing flat tax, favoured the high-income 'crowd'. Should progressive taxation be reintroduced after a few years, your tax would rise. But you'd still count as very well off...

Is there a reason (job) to live near Hung谩ria k枚rut? It is not  central, I don't know how nice that area is. You can live in a nice central place and use the red Metro for work, if you don't mind using it - the morning crowd should travel inwards, I think. But you can see what you like for yourself:-) (They should start using the brand new French metro wagons in a few months, instead of the old soviet ones)

Of course, it all depends on your lifestyle. Specifically, hiring someone, even if unskilled, is still more expensive here than some places in India. E.g. if you are used to having your own personal cook, that would be pretty expensive here, even from that salary, I think.
But buying the same in services, e.g. going to fine restaurants, should be absolutely no problem. Spending 30EUR/8000HUF on one meal is regarded as luxury, 2500 is already pretty OK.(See Gundel's homepage for one of the most expensive restaurants in the City)
Mmmm, why am I talking about eating ?  - need a Vacsora! ;-)

Many thanks fireroller
My office is located at Hung谩ria k枚rut. So I was thinking, it would be better if I live nearby Hung谩ria k枚r煤t, so that I can walk to office However, I would prefer to live in a central area.

By the way, where I can get the best Vacsora?

Vacsora... oh, millions of opportunities:-)
I, as an old 脷jlip贸tv谩ros-ian, will urge you to take the 4/6 to J谩szai Mari t茅r, walk down Pozsonyi 煤t and look into Kiskakukk 脡tterem (classic style) or into Dunapark (modern, something like mid-century US(?) style) -  both are rather classy places (and 5 min from my place), see more here:



Of course you need to find out what of the international/hungarian cousin suits you - local eating habits are pretty meat-based, compared to a number of European and Indian regions.
Have a good Vacsora:-)
