FAQ
Salary reality questions
Is €2.400 enough for Amsterdam?
This depends heavily on housing structure and household size. In this model, the selected scenario is classified as not viable.
Why is shared housing shown separately?
Because housing structure materially changes affordability. The same salary can be borderline in solo mode and meaningfully stronger in shared mode.
What matters most in this decision output?
Rent burden and total essential cost burden drive the result. High housing pressure compresses salary viability faster than gross income alone suggests.
Is this a tax calculator?
No. This is a deterministic salary decision page that converts salary into real-city affordability pressure and scenario viability.
