That's interesting, how much is the net income for a IT-engineer with about 20 years experience?

I guess 500 000 NOK before taxes, (71000$).
Not sure.

List of countries by GDP (nominal) per capita:

There are lies, there are damned lies, then there are statistics...

In Sweden the same prices are;

* A pizza between $3 - $6

That is reason enough for me to move to Sweden :roll:

Bonne_den_kule: Denmark has been chosen to be the worlds most expensive country for cars. And your 60 000$ is cheaper. In denmark that car costs 70 100$ So better think again.. (Price from BilBasen.dk, and for a new car)

I must admit that the $3 pizza is thin. A friend of mine did a test in the town where we lived. He bought pizza from all different places in the town and weight them, to see where you could get "most pizza for your money". The most expensive pizza weight 4 times more then the cheapest one, so there you go...

The Economis makes some price comparison index called "BigMac Index" just like yours "Pizza Index"


http://bigmac.biz/2005/index.php

A BigMac costs:

6.06 in Norway
3.06 in US
4.58 in Denmark
5.05 Switzerland
3.58 in Euro Area

[dont forget that was when the course was 1$ = 6.1 dkr, nor 1$=6,6 dkr but the price of bigmacs havent changed ]

Its odd, convert those prices into pounds, and its basically how much we pay here in the UK, those prices in Sweeden seem AMAZINGLY cheap, god i wish i could pay about, 3-6 dollers u said? thats like £1.50-£3.00 a pizza!, we pay like £15-£20 here...

My pizza prices where from a small town in Sweden and the cheapest pizza costs about $3, but I'll guess "the standard pizza price" is about $6 - $7.

Hydrate: I was in London last week and I actually found everything quite cheap. However sweden is probably even cheaper..
