We are planning a move to the Netherlands however I am keen to get an overall cost of living in the Netherlands before we move as there seem to be some costs that are much more than the U.K, specifically road tax and health insurance and mobile phone contracts.
So far I have the below estimates, can anyone confirm or share their experiences of costs?
Health insurance - approx 80 euros per month
Car insurance - 800 euros per year
road tax - 70 euros per quarter for a petrol car = 280 euros per year
internet/ broadband per month? = ?
mobile phone contract per month = ?
Any shared experiences of costs would be most appreciated. Thanks!
much more exy

Hey,
Amsterdam is much more exy then the UK. Rent is very exy depending on where you want to live. There is a shortage of apartments for rent so that pushes up the price, its a very desirable place to live. Amsterdam is a beautiful city to live and I LOVE it but you pay the price! The saying here is 'Íf your not looking for a job here your looking for an apartment!' Why do you need your car anyway? the best form of transport is a BIKE. Living in the ring you will have difficulty parking your car, its all permit parking which could be a 2 year wait depending on area. I say ditch the car invest in a BIKE the only way to really see and experience Amsterdam! good luck :) and dont forgot to add garbage and water tax to your exspensives.

There are many providers, all offering different prices, so its a good idea to shop around for all these items:
if it helps you can estimate an average of
internet/ broadband per month? = €50
mobile phone contract per month = €20
but it depends on the type of phone you havethere is a very good site http://www.prijsvergelijk.nl/, but of course its in dutch, however you can see
Health insurance - zorgverzekering
Car insurance - autoverzekering
internet/ broadband: mobile phone - mobiel internet
hope this helps:
