I think the grocery estimate for India for a family is very off, while perhaps it may be possible to sustain on Rs. 1500 per week that is VERY LESS. If you consider only dry goods (rice, dal, beans, oil, flour, etc) then I agree, however if you are taking into account fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs, milk, butter, and meat then it goes up to I would say at least Rs. 3000 or more, depending on how much meat and types of fruits etc. per week. Plus normally included also under grocery shopping budget would be cleaning supplies, toiletries, detergents, etc, which definitely wouldn't fit in the 1500 budget as well.
I don't agree, but then, I am vegetarian; people who buy meat and fish definitely pay more than 1,500 a week. I pay around that, other than splurge on stuff - ice-cream in tubs, feeding my addiction to a particular soft drink, stuff like that. The splurges would be more.
One problem is the unfair exchange rate Rupee to Euro. The Rupee is actually worth more. In Europe the problem is that the left parties became insignificant.

Be aware if you are studying in the Netherlands and you are from overseas you pay more as the prices are subsided if you have the Dutch nationality. I never had a car in The Netherlands always cycling and use public transport an use a discount subscription for the train.
People in India don't buy car for traveling in one city, they usually use public transport, because of traffic, car usually used for going for long distance.
People in India buy car only for status and hence end up with low budget cars and maximum percentage of people neglect the timely maintenance of it Also, I have a slightly different opinion and I think people use cars to travel within the city and hence is the main reason for traffic congestion
@@pramodaakalkoti9218 it's okay, with ongoing infra development and new, brilliant modes of public transport, situation is going to improve. Metro is coming to many cities of India. Also, new AC electric buses are coming. In next 5-6 years, traffic issue will be sorted to a great extent.

I lived in India for five years. Been to Bengaluru few times It is a big city and have all the comforts of a big city the weather is gorges. But the traffic is nightmare. There is no beach. Don't go there if you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing live.
the actual prizes of the colleges are (in cities is):- PU College -45k-70k UNIVERSITY- Medical-5,00,000-30,00,000 each year Engineering-2,00,00-12,00,000 each year the minimum prices are for the merit students.and the rest is for normal students who dont get merit. thank you, your videos are just awesome
Thanks, Ivana for bringing out this very informative and comparative video. Just one thing to say, that the average income of a person differs from State to State. In Kolkata, is about Rs. 15,000/- per month. Yesterday I had a Lunch in the Dalhousie area with just Rs. 18/- which consists of Rice, Lentils, 4 types of Vegetables, Pappad and Chutni beside you can also ask for Onion, Lemon and Chilli with no extra cost. So, you can easily understand that it differs. Anyhow, the video was excellent. Keep it up and Take Care.
Yeah Arijit,I am an Army Officer my cost of living in Kolkata when I was posted at Fort William was half of what is in Delhi now...I used to go to Park Street every week with my family for dinner which is unthinkable in Delhi...long live Kolkata the city of joy.
You missed "HEALTHCARE". How could you??? I heard it's too expensive to even have a baby and you don't have contraceptive pill too or you don't get it that easy there without prescription. Please make a video on it too. 🙏❤️
Hoi Ivana, vond het echt heel informatief. Bedankt. Een kleine correctie @13:13 ₹50 = €0,56 Hoe is het gesteld met de gezondheidszorg. Is er iets zoals de 'ziekenfondsverzekering' Zorgeverzekeraars en aanvullende pakketten.
For streetfood we got foodtrucks and foodtruck events now. They prepare foods origins from all continents. Prices are also less costly than you pay in restaurants. There are also mobile snackbars and fish stands for buying haring, kibbeling and other fish products.
Dank u wel voor het delen ,fijne feestdagen, we hebben long weekend nu zoals je dat weet.. Goede Vrijdag tot en met de twee paasdagen , Tc. and be Safe..
The price range of 2bhk and 3bhk in Bangalore is 80L to 1.5cr from a popular builder. Total environment is the one which charges 3cr or if a popular builder selling detached homes then only it would cost 3cr and more.
I like the expression when you say the price in Netherlands has sky rocketed, which is very true on a average there is increase of 10 % every year.. I still remember in 2013 where I can go and see 5- 6 houses, but now one house is viewed by 10-20 people.
Then why doesn't govt encourage building more houses? Scarcity is artificially created, supply is intentionally controlled, most of land must be in hands of a few. In such situation, prices are bound to increase.

An order of magnitude lower, in fact. I mean, 10K for a rent?! That's freakin' crazy! And, pretty decent 3BHK apartments (1500-1800 sq.f) are available for as low as, say, 35-40 Lacs (3.5-4 million INR).

That was very entertaining, thank you. In terms of restaurant comparison, what would an average meal in a "hipster" restaurant/cafe in Bangalore cost? I recall you had a meal in one of those restaurants in Indiranagar (sorry if I spelt it wrong) in another video. I think this might make for a better comparison to the average restaurant in the Netherlands. What do you think? I'm guessing that the Bangalore average restaurant prices you mentioned may be more for eateries rather than a "proper" restaurant. I would consider eateries to be just a step or two above street food, in terms of pricing, they aren't significantly higher and they remain very accessible to locals. Just before covid lockdowns, I was lucky enough to spend some time in Bangkok, and the prices in restaurants (especially mall cafes and restaurants) were just as pricey as in Japan, Hong Kong & Singapore. So I'm wondering if that might be the case with Bangalore restaurants too?
In big cities like Bangalore for a rather well-to-do family grocery (food + non-food ) can cost around 2000 to 4000 Rs. per person. It may be quite more for someone having rather luxury lifestyle
I live in firozepur punjab A decent district not so crowded but well developed it has shopping malls, cinema and everything But house price are way more drastic In middle of city you'll get a 5 marla* 3 storey house for 80 lakhs to 1 crore But in Cantonment just a Km away you can make a 10 marla huge lavish luxury mansion in just 60 to 80 lakhs as per interior designing 1 marla= 272 sq ft
Hatchback cars can start at 3.5 to 4.5 lakhs Rupees on the road in India. Even low end sedans cost around 7 to 8 lakhs And train travel : 500 Rs. can fetch you a 2nd class ticket for a ride up to o a 10-12 hours in India. And in Air Conditioned coaches it can cost 800 to 1200 Rs.
It is so strange that people don't realise that Hyderabad is very competitive with any other location in India, with regard to rent, transport, food and household, electricity, and - SURPRISE! - weather!! Medical support is superb, public transport is very, very good, not over the top as it is with Delhi Metro, but very much up to the needs of the city.
Education In India 1994- 2011( in my case) : 1 to 10 standard avg 6INR/ year , total 60INR ( govt.school) + 600INR for text books 11&12- 6000INR fees+ 3000INR Test books ( Govt school) Engineering - 20000INR fee for 4 year & 16000INR for text books ( govt college) Total cost for education for 16 years: 45660 INR ( 522 euro )
Wow... You have good research about india... I found your video really informative and I believe whatever u talked about Netherland will be true becoz u have done a great job about Indian market 👍
13:50 actually thats incorrect. A brand new hatchback car can cost as less as 4 lakh in India. And hatchbacks are the most sold category of car in India. For 10 lakh you can get a good sedan like Ciaz or MUV like Venue, Nexon etc. If you compound all the cars sold in India, maybe you could get the average cost of 10lakh, maybe thats how they calculated it..but still seems a bit off to me..
Thank you for this video and all the others. This is great data even though I'm an American.... For now. I Can't wait to go back to mama India. I miss her. ❤️ 🇮🇳
Hii Ivana....Im from Odisha, India...Plz come to our state...U will find many more restaurants At cheap price and Bhubaneswar,Odisha is The no.1 smart city in India.... So plz come...
Great thing about you channel is, You cover very diverse topics that no one thinks of everyday but, would love to see. Keep these videos coming, they are very informative. Yes Dollar or Pound stretches very far in India, especially the service industry is very cheap due to high population. That also explains how Billion people live in a country where wages are very low. I used to live in Hyderabad 6 years ago with 6000 INR/month. Shared Hostel room with Internet(it's slow but hey..) and food used to cost 4000 INR(55USD). And I used to spend rest of 2000 INR on street food. Diversity of Street food in India is Insane, I almost used to try 1 new food item everyday. Those were the jobless days where I was living off of my parents. Now I live in US, It almost feels insane how affordable India is, especially when you are job less.
Purchasing power of Rupee is far more. that's why India's nominal GDP and GDP-PPP differs a lot. PPP gives you the idea of how much you can purchase with same money in different countries. In that regard, India's GDP is at no.3 and is 0.7 of China's GDP and about 0.4-0.5 of USA's GDP. Keeping that in mind, India isn't really poor, nor are Indians, since cost of 'healthy' living isn't really expensive here.

very well made video!! All the best for your LOG academy
Thank you so much!!!
Great video........ Love from an Indian living in America 🇺🇸 🇮🇳
People in India don't buy car for traveling in one city, they usually use public transport, because of traffic, car usually used for going for long distance.
People in India buy car only for status and hence end up with low budget cars and maximum percentage of people neglect the timely maintenance of it
Also, I have a slightly different opinion and I think people use cars to travel within the city and hence is the main reason for traffic congestion
@@pramodaakalkoti9218 it's okay, with ongoing infra development and new, brilliant modes of public transport, situation is going to improve. Metro is coming to many cities of India. Also, new AC electric buses are coming. In next 5-6 years, traffic issue will be sorted to a great extent.
If the Netherland is so expensive even for Dutch, how tough their life is ! I think they need to reform in opposite way.
As an indian living in NL for 6 yrs, your price comparison of food and grocery is SPOT ON!
High praise!!! Thank you
I used to read Travel Vlog Iv as travel vlog 4, it was today that I realised Iv stands for Ivana and not roman 4.
Me too...but I did not realize it untill you mentioned it
Same Thing Sir
Dang, I too just realized it now. Wow I was wrong the whole time
You told to low grocery store in india it will be 3 times .... As well to low education cost ... Education cost in India is insanely expensive for most of Indians can't afford it and even after spending money you cannot get quality education in India ... Only top 1% who can crack highly competitive exams can get quality education at an affordable price .... Isn't education not free for all in Netherland ? You told rent to high in india
I think mexico specially my city which is the capital of the country is right in the middle of both countries hahahaha the train ticket is 17.50 rupees or 0.20 euro
Haha brilliant! Love to hear about prices in other countries too
That train is local train.. If you want better trains for long travelling it will cost more expensive
Don't create a title as 'Cheap'.
For some its affordable and for some the same is a luxury.
Why not? If people think India is cheap this video will give them a different perspective.
Less costly, sounds a bit better maybe.
That doesn't work for SEO lol😅
@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial haha...honest to the core.
@@IvanaPerkovicOfficial exactly India can be cheaper than other European countries may be but looking in to Indian incomes group country is definitely Expensive u r right
I lived in India for five years. Been to Bengaluru few times It is a big city and have all the comforts of a big city the weather is gorges. But the traffic is nightmare. There is no beach. Don't go there if you are looking for a peaceful and relaxing live.

thank you,
your videos are just awesome
Great edit at 14:13! Really cool! XD
"Fascination for comparing prices"..... then You probably are in the right* country. ie 🇮🇳 🤩🤗🤩
Thanks, Ivana for bringing out this very informative and comparative video. Just one thing to say, that the average income of a person differs from State to State. In Kolkata, is about Rs. 15,000/- per month. Yesterday I had a Lunch in the Dalhousie area with just Rs. 18/- which consists of Rice, Lentils, 4 types of Vegetables, Pappad and Chutni beside you can also ask for Onion, Lemon and Chilli with no extra cost. So, you can easily understand that it differs. Anyhow, the video was excellent. Keep it up and Take Care.
Yeah Arijit,I am an Army Officer my cost of living in Kolkata when I was posted at Fort William was half of what is in Delhi now...I used to go to Park Street every week with my family for dinner which is unthinkable in Delhi...long live Kolkata the city of joy.
I agree with Rajesh and Arijit. Food in Calcutta is insanely affordable.

You missed "HEALTHCARE".
How could you???
I heard it's too expensive to even have a baby and you don't have contraceptive pill too or you don't get it that easy there without prescription.
Please make a video on it too. 🙏❤️
India is one of the most economical and cheap places to live. And having your own house in Bangalore is a luxury.
Yeah, in whitefied and dollars colony is a dream...
Hoi Ivana, vond het echt heel informatief. Bedankt. Een kleine correctie @13:13 ₹50 = €0,56
Hoe is het gesteld met de gezondheidszorg. Is er iets zoals de 'ziekenfondsverzekering' Zorgeverzekeraars en aanvullende pakketten.
This is perfect video comparison...... 👍 Keep up the good work........ ❤️❤️❤️❤️
You're no more a foreigner, you've become like us, and that I like about you very much.
For streetfood we got foodtrucks and foodtruck events now.
They prepare foods origins from all continents.
Prices are also less costly than you pay in restaurants.
There are also mobile snackbars and fish stands for buying haring, kibbeling and other fish products.
And taste is also super taste brothe . Isn't it.?
Dank u wel voor het delen ,fijne feestdagen, we hebben long weekend nu zoals je dat weet.. Goede Vrijdag tot en met de twee paasdagen , Tc. and be Safe..
Superb Ivana ! You spoke excellent! Love your channel!!
This is nice to see - the perspective from someone who know more than just knowledge from a single visit. Thank you for this.
My pleasure!
You live wherever you want. Allow me to live here peacefully... So upload the videos daily... 😜
A beautiful video, a lovely virtual walk, it's very relaxing. Thanks for sharing!
The price range of 2bhk and 3bhk in Bangalore is 80L to 1.5cr from a popular builder. Total environment is the one which charges 3cr or if a popular builder selling detached homes then only it would cost 3cr and more.
Thank you!!!
I like the expression when you say the price in Netherlands has sky rocketed, which is very true on a average there is increase of 10 % every year.. I still remember in 2013 where I can go and see 5- 6 houses, but now one house is viewed by 10-20 people.
Then why doesn't govt encourage building more houses? Scarcity is artificially created, supply is intentionally controlled, most of land must be in hands of a few. In such situation, prices are bound to increase.
@@swapnilp5774 Government highly regulates making it difficult to build new houses preventing supply from matching demand.
@@factseek For example?
Great work sweetheart ! ❤️
Love your videos and your approach. Thanks!
Hey Ivana! Even i have a habit of comparing prices , of course I want to manage my expenses too.....loved this vlog of yours.. 🙂
To travel in india is to experience a rainbow of experiences which one would never get if travelling in sanitizer developed countries!
Money can never give you such a vibrant holiday experience!

Wow Thanks for giving such a true information! :)
Obsessed with your videos! 🤩
Come to kolkata and ul see the living expense will be 1times lower than bangalore and mumbai😀❤️❤️❤️
An order of magnitude lower, in fact.
I mean, 10K for a rent?!
That's freakin' crazy!
And, pretty decent 3BHK apartments (1500-1800 sq.f) are available for as low as, say, 35-40 Lacs (3.5-4 million INR).
@@diguification I don't think you can have 1800 sq ft flat in 35 lakhs, kolkata is expensive now, my friend buying 1500 sq ft flat in haridevpur, so called lower income group place, in 80 lakhs
I always like your video even before finishing it! I just love your genuine love for my country :)
Thank you so much for your support!
In #assam india , here salary starts from 25k and go up to 70k per month.
My god I am taking about rural areas .
India is so diversed that you can not say anything by just visiting 1,2 states.

That was very entertaining, thank you. In terms of restaurant comparison, what would an average meal in a "hipster" restaurant/cafe in Bangalore cost? I recall you had a meal in one of those restaurants in Indiranagar (sorry if I spelt it wrong) in another video. I think this might make for a better comparison to the average restaurant in the Netherlands. What do you think?
I'm guessing that the Bangalore average restaurant prices you mentioned may be more for eateries rather than a "proper" restaurant. I would consider eateries to be just a step or two above street food, in terms of pricing, they aren't significantly higher and they remain very accessible to locals.
Just before covid lockdowns, I was lucky enough to spend some time in Bangkok, and the prices in restaurants (especially mall cafes and restaurants) were just as pricey as in Japan, Hong Kong & Singapore. So I'm wondering if that might be the case with Bangalore restaurants too?
Super understanding of India 🇮🇳
Great 👍
Really good content
Neitherland looking too beautiful in video clips...😍
i reneted my house in 50 euro a month .it is 2bhk .. i feel cheated now😂
In big cities like Bangalore for a rather well-to-do family grocery (food + non-food ) can cost around 2000 to 4000 Rs. per person. It may be quite more for someone having rather luxury lifestyle
Wow so amazing as always. thank you. Take care and much love didi ❤
I live in firozepur punjab
A decent district not so crowded but well developed it has shopping malls, cinema and everything
But house price are way more drastic
In middle of city you'll get a 5 marla* 3 storey house for 80 lakhs to 1 crore
But in Cantonment just a Km away you can make a 10 marla huge lavish luxury mansion in just 60 to 80 lakhs as per interior designing
1 marla= 272 sq ft
I’m from Bangalore and I could say most of your price evolution on India and Bangalore is absolutely bang on. Great observation
Hatchback cars can start at 3.5 to 4.5 lakhs Rupees on the road in India. Even low end sedans cost around 7 to 8 lakhs And train travel : 500 Rs. can fetch you a 2nd class ticket for a ride up to o a 10-12 hours in India. And in Air Conditioned
coaches it can cost 800 to 1200 Rs.
Quite informative vidio! Medical expenses comparison could have been added to this
It is so strange that people don't realise that Hyderabad is very competitive with any other location in India, with regard to rent, transport, food and household, electricity, and - SURPRISE! - weather!! Medical support is superb, public transport is very, very good, not over the top as it is with Delhi Metro, but very much up to the needs of the city.
13:59 small disclaimer really caught me ... I laughed way hard....😁😁😁
Education In India 1994- 2011( in my case) :
1 to 10 standard avg 6INR/ year , total 60INR ( govt.school) + 600INR for text books
11&12- 6000INR fees+ 3000INR Test books ( Govt school)
Engineering - 20000INR fee for 4 year & 16000INR for text books ( govt college)
Total cost for education for 16 years: 45660 INR ( 522 euro )
Your research about pricing in India is just wow. No flaws in your research 👍
Awesome video..very good comparison..Keep making such videos...
Wow... You have good research about india... I found your video really informative and I believe whatever u talked about Netherland will be true becoz u have done a great job about Indian market 👍
13:50 actually thats incorrect. A brand new hatchback car can cost as less as 4 lakh in India. And hatchbacks are the most sold category of car in India. For 10 lakh you can get a good sedan like Ciaz or MUV like Venue, Nexon etc. If you compound all the cars sold in India, maybe you could get the average cost of 10lakh, maybe thats how they calculated it..but still seems a bit off to me..
This is such a well done comparison video Ivana 💕
Thank you so happy to hear that!
Thank you for this video and all the others. This is great data even though I'm an American.... For now. I Can't wait to go back to mama India. I miss her. ❤️ 🇮🇳

Hello🙋🏻♂️ watching from North East India🇮🇳 i like "Arjen Robben" dutch footbll player.
beautifully explained, love from India
As a foreigner you have a lot of knowledge about India
To the 1% of people reading this I want you to forget everything and have a wonderful weekend 😃😃😃😃
Great thing about you channel is, You cover very diverse topics that no one thinks of everyday but, would love to see. Keep these videos coming, they are very informative. Yes Dollar or Pound stretches very far in India, especially the service industry is very cheap due to high population. That also explains how Billion people live in a country where wages are very low.
I used to live in Hyderabad 6 years ago with 6000 INR/month. Shared Hostel room with Internet(it's slow but hey..) and food used to cost 4000 INR(55USD). And I used to spend rest of 2000 INR on street food. Diversity of Street food in India is Insane, I almost used to try 1 new food item everyday. Those were the jobless days where I was living off of my parents. Now I live in US, It almost feels insane how affordable India is, especially when you are job less.
Purchasing power of Rupee is far more. that's why India's nominal GDP and GDP-PPP differs a lot. PPP gives you the idea of how much you can purchase with same money in different countries. In that regard, India's GDP is at no.3 and is 0.7 of China's GDP and about 0.4-0.5 of USA's GDP. Keeping that in mind, India isn't really poor, nor are Indians, since cost of 'healthy' living isn't really expensive here.
Very much informative through the eyes of a foreigner but i can' t say i have enjoyed it for the simplistic reason i am not crazy about netherlands.
Mostly all comparisons are correct, except the 4 wheeler price, which should be around 6.5 lakhs for an average indian...
Good job.. 👍👍👍

for IIT & NIT( which are best engineering colleges in INDIA ) college fees are upto 2.5lakh to 3 lakh per year . And for private engineering colleges this may vary upto 4-6 lakh per year .
And courses like MBA in IIM have really high fees upto 10-15 lakh for just 2 years .
St ,sc,obc ka kam hai
@@ashu2102 yes but I am talking about General.
In every 10 years indian economy grows by 170% each year we take 1 % of our population from poverty into middle class... so by this till 2030 indian economy will take very high jump. So if you wisley make some investment now till 2030 their is realy good opertunity make some good money
When i studied ,college fees was 1.2 lakhs per year in 2013 and now 3.6 lakhs per year in 2020 in my same college. but for medical colleges fees are less than 1lakh per year (5000-100000)in govt.

If students are not able to crack entrance exams like jee,neet,cet,etc,
Donation amount in colleges starts from rs 6 to 8 lakh for IT and Computer engineering and also for medical field and separate college fees which make it to 20 to 25 lakh for education in INDIA.
I know this because I am also a student.
Thanks for reading 😃
Yr research is spot on....
Comparing absolute numbers doesn't make much sense. You should compare on percentage, for instance, what percentage of income is spent on food, housing, travel, education, etc? According to Numbeo - a comparison between Bangalore and Amsterdam, the buying power in Amsterdam is just 10% higher.
- Consumer Prices in Amsterdam are 211.92% higher than in Bangalore (without rent)
- Consumer Prices Including Rent in Amsterdam are 292.94% higher than in Bangalore
- Rent Prices in Amsterdam are 576.84% higher than in Bangalore
- Restaurant Prices in Amsterdam are 401.52% higher than in Bangalore
- Groceries Prices in Amsterdam are 118.83% higher than in Bangalore
- Local Purchasing Power in Amsterdam is 10.08% higher than in Bangalore
