I am wondering you already knew your results also you comes under NCP Spain. If you work for 2 years and paying that percent as tax, you are eligible to enjoy PARO (unemployment benefits) for 8 months after you finish your contact. They will pay you 70 % of your net salary for 8 months. I am not sure if there is a maximum amount they can pay as PARO..each university more or less cut from the salary the tax amount. If some university took less , in the end you have to pay to the government at end of each financial year. (It's called declarcion renta, I think the Spanish word). Anyway you have to apply for ViSA as an investigator, it's a new category they created.But you have to confirm about the VISA category best suits for your contract !!!

I have some practical questions regarding this fellowship, maybe you guys can help me:
1) the mobility allowance for us to move to the country is given upon arrival to that country (as some kind of reimbursement) or they actually pay up so one can buy plane tickets and stuff?
2) in my home country, fellowships are not taxed, but I heard they are in Spain, is it directly deducted from the monthly payment? If so, does anybody have any idea how much one gets in hand? I've heard someone saying the taxation gets close to 40%, if so, this fellowship is not as competitive (money-wise) as they led us to believe, right?
3) As I've never been to Europe, how expensive is it to live in Madrid?

Thanks for the info!
And honestly, I don't know the results, I was going crazy last week, contacted both NPC and host, and both told me to chill out, don't bother them, and wait till the 14th. I am genuinely trying to do a positive thinking exercise, wondering how life would be in Spain. That's all.
