Hey, I recently started working Norwegian and just did a quick Google search to figure out the average prices for flats and the average pay for my industry.

So I currently work as an Junior IT Security Engineer in Germany. I figured out the average pay for my job would be about 512000 NOK in Oslo.

I then looked at some apartments and saw that they cost around 35-42 thousand NOK.

Calculating in taxes etc. I end up with my calculations nearly on 0 after rent. I guess I calculate it wrong, but how would it actually be? Because I don't think anyone would be able to live on Oslo if rent would take up the whole salary and wouldn't leave any money for something else.

Thank you in advance!
