Cost of living is an indicative ballpark for one person, including rent, in the named reference city. The range runs comfortable to premium: what someone relocating actually spends, not a local-budget minimum. Percentages compare to living comfortably in Toronto, around C$4,800/mo (≈ €3,250) on the same basis. Your own city may run higher or lower, so treat it as a signpost, not a quote.

Tax is the headline effective income-tax rate on a €60k/yr remote worker; figures without a “~” are sourced and verified against an authoritative tax reference, the rest are estimates. Kept / mo is that take-home minus the reference living cost above, so it folds two indicative figures together: a signpost for how far the money goes, not a budget. It ignores social contributions, deductions, and your home-country filing (see the country pages for the per-passport picture).
