Cost of living in Norway is 256% more expensive than in India.
Rent is Oslo downtown - 15k Kr
Grocery - 8k Kr
Internet/electricity - 3K Kr
Other expenses - 10 Kr
Owning a Car is super expensive, most of people take public transport.
Taxi in Norway are super expensive.
If you are a smoker and drink regular , both are super expensive.
If you are thinking to buy a house , then it starts from 2M kr (at out skirt of course ) for a decent size (80-100 sqmt) .
You can survive in Norway only if you are getting a decent salary , Remember the tax in Norway also which is quite high.
All analysis are from Google and should not be taken as hard facts, Living cost is depends on people to people, area to area and individual life style , Above facts are common and should be good enough to give an idea about the cost of living in Norway.
Comments are welcome.
Many pupil are looking for job opportunity in Norway , Norway is one of the country where lot of job opportunities are there but there are always some pros and cons. Below are some of specific details about the Norway.
Below are some of useful link to know more about the Norway.

Some FAQ:
Q. Why is Norway famous?
Norway is known as the Land of the Midnight Sun. It is famous for its phenomenal fjords, lakes and magical skies. Norway is also famous for its languages, Vikings and folklore, being eco-friendly, and oil production. Also, many inhabitants of Norway are renowned ski fanatics, frozen pizza lovers, and Tesla drivers!
Q. Can I move to Norway without a job?
European citizens are able to register as self-employed in order to move to Norway. However, non-EU citizens, including Americans, need to apply for a work permit and the requirements are strict.
Q. Is it easy to get a job in Norway?
Norway may seem like the promised land but finding a job here is far from an easy feat, especially if you come from a non-EU country and have no work permit. Moreover, in the Norwegian labor market, there is a great demand for professions not too common for some other countries, in fields like oil and gas.
Q. How can I live in Norway permanently?
In order to apply for a permanent residence permit, you must have held a residence permit in Norway for at least three years and meet certain other requirements. If you have a permanent residence permit, you will be issued a residence card that is valid for two years at a time.
Q. Why does Norway have a midnight sun?
The earth is rotating at a tilted axis relative to the sun, and during the summer months, the North Pole is angled towards our star. That's why, for several weeks, the sun never sets above the Arctic Circle. Svalbard is the place in Norway where the midnight sun occurs for the longest period.
Q. How Much Is A House In Norway?
Norway is not a European Union member but it is part of the European Economic Area and its labor market and recruitment policies are harmonized with the EU. This means that if you are not Norwegian, an EU or EEA citizen, or Swiss, you will have a very hard time getting work in Norway.
If you're an EU citizen, it's fairly easy to get unskilled work and fairly difficult to get skilled work (you'd need to speak our language for one).
If you're not an EU citizen, there is very little chance that you could immigrate legally to Norway, so that would be nearly impossible. The legal ways to immigrate would be as a refugee, as a close family member of a Norwegian citizen who is willing and able to support you financially, or as an exceptional expert in a field where we are lacking manpower. You as a foreigner will have to get a job to get into Norway at all.
Many of us looking for salary information in Norway , Here are the some figures from internet.
It will depend quite a bit on what line of business you’re in and what formal education you have. Here are some general pointers which might give you an approximate idea what to expect:
The average salary for all full-time employed Norwegian men in 2015 was 47200,- nok a month (or $5700). If you want to convert that to a yearly salary you need to subtract 5 weeks vacation, but add 12% vacation-pay to get a total of around $70K/year.
The average salary for someone with a degree resulting from at least 3 years of studies (true for most senior software engineers) is 54200 nok a month (or $6500), that corresponds to a yearly salary of about $80K.
Your tax-rate will depend on what deductions you have. If you’ve got a mortgage and kids and a stay-at-home wife it’ll be lower than if you’ve got neither of those things. About 35% taxes is a reasonable guesstimate for someone with a salary in this range, and if you pay 35% taxes, then your average take-home pay would be about $4300/month. (that’s my approximate tax-rate with a salary similar to this, I’ve got 3 kids but they’re old enough to have zero childcare-costs by now and I’ve got only a small mortgage, plus my wife works and earns an amount similar to my own)
In reality you’d take home a bit less than that most months, but MORE than that in June and December, that happens because usually taxes in Norway are not split in 12 equal parts, but instead split into 10.5 parts, and you pay zero taxes in June and only half taxes in December. (this doesn’t affect the sum total of taxes paid, it’s just a question of -when- you pay those taxes)
Another view:
For engineers working in the private sector, these are the average salaries depending on number of years of experience:
The average does not tell the whole story, of course. Someone who is in a leading role or working as a consultant could be making substantially more, while others could be making less. It also depends on region. Places like Oslo and Stavanger pay higher.
I’d say anywhere from 600 000 NOK to about 1 200 000 NOK is normal for someone with 10 years experience or more.
One more
A quick look on Glassdoor tells you that on average, a Senior Software Engineer earns around 550,000 NOK a year. If we convert it to USD, it is going to be a little bit less than 65,000 USD. However you should put in mind that Norway is one of the most heavily taxed countries in the world with a tax rate that can reach 45% in some cases. This means that you will roughly earn 2500 USD after tax.
Hope this will give you some idea about the salary structure in Norway.

This is very common question for freshers when they start searching for jobs and looking for opportunities, the Question is , which is better place to go .. Front-End or Backend
Let's discuss it one by one.
FrontEnd:-
FrontEnd mostly deals with RTL Design,ASIC(SOC/IP) Verification,Synthesis,Timing analysis profiles of VLSI.
Incase of RTL design you need to have good knowledge of HDL and Coding on VHDL,Verilog and C.Now most recently SystemVerilog has also been used as a standard for HDL.Moreover you will get a good understanding on the specification of a chip or IC and industry related protocols.
In case of ASIC Verification profiles,similar to RTL design you need to be well versed with the coding and HDVL like SystemVerilog and methodologies like UVM/OVM.
But the difference of ASIC Verification with RTL design is that as a verification engineer you mostly deals with catching of bugs,creation of testbench to debug the RTL block and also to create coverage reports.
So if you are fond of Hardware coding and have inclination towards implementation of logic,loves debugging and want to have a sound understanding about the functionality of IC or chip you should definitely go for Front End.
Moreover with the recent emergence of Artificial intelligence,genetic algorithm and it's implementation towards VLSI opens up a huge scope of work for Front end.
So that summarizes the Front End.
BackEnd:-
If we look at the ASIC flow starting from Specification, Functional Simulation, Synthesis, Timing Analysis is consumed in FrontEnd and then Floor Planning, Placement, Routing, ATPG insertion, Back annotation, DFT, SPEF analysis are consumed for Backend.
Now to have knowledge on all the aspects of ASIC flow mentioned above for Backend you need to well equipped with the concepts of CMOS,Analog Circuits,Scripting knowledge for automation,memory characterisation,SRAM,DRAM memories,Complete Hands on Tools for layout,physical design.
If the above mentioned skills interests you then you can opt for Backend and there might be a chance to work in Foundary as well wearing the Bunny suits.
The important point each and every domain and it's subdomains has its own advantages and it's completely up to you which one to choose depending on your interest as both of them provides good career growth.
Clock Skew
To calculate the Clock skew -
Clock Skew = Clock Arrival time at Capture Flop - Clock Arrival time at Launch Flop.
Here's how it affects Setup and Hold Checks.
Setup Check → Clock_to_Q delay of Launch Flop + Datapath or Combinational logic Delay + Setup-Time of Capture Flop < (Clock Period + Clock Skew)
Hold Check → Clock_to_Q delay of Launch Flop + Datapath or Combinational logic Delay > (Hold-Time of the Capture Flop + Clock Skew).
If you had +200ps clock Skew, then the setup-check gets relaxed by 200ps, but hold-check becomes harder to meet. (And vice-versa if you have -200ps clock skew).
Clock Jitter :
Clock skew refers to the difference in arrival times of the clock signal at different components or registers within a circuit, especially in synchronous systems.
In a multi-stage pipeline, if one flip-flop in stage 1 receives the clock signal a little later than another flip-flop in stage 2, the clock skew between these flip-flops could lead to synchronization problems.
Clock jitter refers to small, rapid variations in the timing of the clock signal's edges (both rising and falling edges). These variations occur around the ideal clock period due to noise, variations in the clock source, or environmental factors like power supply fluctuations or temperature changes.
If you have a high-speed clock driving a fast communication bus, jitter could cause the timing of the data to be inconsistent, affecting synchronization and leading to incorrect data capture at the receiving end.
Aspect | Clock Skew | Clock Jitter |
---|---|---|
Definition | The difference in arrival times of the clock signal at different points in the circuit. | The random or periodic variation in the clock signal's edges over time. |
Cause | Caused by variations in the routing of the clock signal or the use of different clock sources. | Caused by noise, power supply variations, temperature fluctuations, or interference. |
Type | Static (it remains constant during operation). | Dynamic (it fluctuates with time). |
Effect on System | Can cause setup or hold time violations between registers or flip-flops in a synchronous system. | Can cause timing uncertainty leading to data errors, affecting the accuracy of data capture. |
Measured as | The difference in arrival times of the clock signal at two or more points. | The variation (usually in terms of rms or peak-to-peak) of the clock edges over time. |
Example | A clock signal arriving at one flip-flop 1 ns later than at another. | A clock signal's rising edge being delayed randomly by ±0.2 ns due to noise. |
Both skew and jitter can negatively affect a system's performance by introducing timing errors, so they need to be minimized through careful circuit and timing analysis, especially in high-speed designs.
Let me know if you'd like more details on how these issues are handled in specific designs or any other related concepts!
