      Doesn’t this include everyone? So people with mortgages from 25 years ago that are paying 400 euro a month for a 3 bed semi detached?

      Would be interesting to see this stat only reflecting the current market and not including legacy mortgages.

      I would be very interested to see how much income Irish people spend on rent. Having a mortgage is wayy cheaper than rent, so I feel like people who are paying €1300p/m for a 3-bed mortgage distort the people paying €2000 for a one-bed apartment.

      Ah yes all those people still living with their parents in their 30s is really skewing the data here.

      How are they calculating disposable? If it’s all post tax income then 16.9% on mortgage.

      I rent, so 37% of my net income goes to my rent, excluding bills. Yikes

      average wage = 45k (gross, I know)

      17% of 45k = 7650

      god I wish I could pay 7650(637 p/m) a year for rent, and not a minimum of 1800 p/m or 21,600 for the year for a 2bed “apartment” (state of the places on daft you can barely call them homes)

      A rather pointless comparison. You cannot get anything meaningful from it.

      It doesn’t account for:
      1) Rent vs mortgage
      2) Quality of accommodation
      3) Number of people shared with

      Sorry maybe I am getting it wrong, but disposable income is money left after you pay rent, mortgage, utilities etc?

      Data is here my good people if you’re curious to drill down.

      And you can download the dataset here to answer a lot of the questions that folks are asking in the comments:

      I knew it. You’re all lying and have plenty of money. Just trying to play it poor and pretend you’re struggling.

      Stop redefining disposable income to mean post-tax income. Money spent on housing is not disposable.

    13. accountcg1234 on

      If a 37 year old is still living at his childhood home I guess that is recorded as a zero spend on housing and is skewing the figures?

      Because there is no way in hell that chart is accurate to the real world.

      Portugal practically being the lowest on the chart is laughable.

      If you look at the stats of countries where adult children are still living at home with their parents, it is essentially the inverse of this chart

      Germany pays a much higher percentage because they are all out there living like independant adults. We are ‘low’ because we all still have to live with mammy and daddy into our 30’s.

    14. What a totally trustworthy bit of information, unless you’re currently looking for a place in Dublin with a median salary, in which case it’s 40-50%.

      Could you do one that compares how much of disposable income in Europe households spend on rent?

    16. fullmetalfeminist on

      Jesus. Before I stopped working I was paying 70% of my income on rent. 17% sounds like a fever dream

      Your accommodation costs are not part of your disposable income!
