Your net salary would be about 2900 euro monthly. Then you'd need to pay for an appartment, it would be at least 400-500 euro. Then you have to eat and sometimes buy new clothes since it's a cold country :) This would cost you maybe another 500 euro. So you could save about 2000 euro each month.

€500 for an apartment in Berlin? Are they really that cheap?

No, that time is over, except maybe in the outside districts. Lots of rooms in the central areas are more expensive than that.
