How much rent can you afford?
Look at the net monthly income you will have abroad and then calculate how much you will need to spend on: Food, insurance (e.g. Health, Travel), transport, entertainment/ leisure, other ongoing costs you’ll have (phone bills, subscriptions, payments back home, etc.)
Whatever’s left is – approximately – what you can allocate for monthly rent. It’s always wise to keep a financial cushion of one or two hundred, either to save for the future or for one of life’s unforeseen events.
Once you’ve settled on your absolute rental maximum, you can apply this figure to all filtered accommodation searches.
