Edinburgh 1bhk seems to be going in the 700-900 pound per month range.

On top of that you will pay council tax, gas, electricity, wifi and water bills

Monthly expenses depend on your lifestyle and how often you eat out / travel /shop

Your monthly take home would be around 2600 after tax and NI.

Most of which would go away in your house expenses.

It would seem like you might be able to save just over 1000 pounds a month if you are frugal.

To get a better idea, check out average rent prices in rightmove.co.uk near your office, figure out the average council tax for those houses and you should get an idea.

For a family of four, most of what my post suggests holds true, the only difference is that you can't live in a 2bhk.. you would need a minimum of 3 bhk. Really depends on the kids ages...

Also, schooling and healthcare is mostly free
