Is 6500 SGD a good salary for a single person

Please don’t come  here on SGD 6500  if you are getting SGD 5300 in middle east, here cost of  living  is much much higher than any of middle east countries. try to negotiate   the salary.

if you are alone then  you will need to pay around sgd  900 for accommodation( co-living)yes co-living is safe here and another sgd 1000 (max) for food and outing. Now you have to decide whether you should accept the offer or not but suggest you pls negotiate with your future employer.

Regrading  salary , people are getting more than gulf here mostly.  I can tell you  Singapore is much better country than any of gulf countries in every prospective.

if you are single then you can survive but if you have family then very hard to survive on this salary.

1. for Single : common room is sufficient approx 1300 sgd avg. for couple, you will take atleast master bedroom which is approx 1800 avg. studio apart approx 3000 avg can vary if you take at outskirts.
2. food expensive : if you can cook at home then you can save alot of money specially indian food. otherwise avg 1 time meal you have to spend 10 sgd
3. Transport system :  Singapore transport system is best and cheapest in the world. best connectivity to each part of the singapore. You will not feel necessity of car until unless you are very use to it.
4. Safety : Singapore is one of the safest country in the world. You will not feel racism like in other country. people mostly are friendly and helpful.
5. weather : singapore weather is far better than middle east. Its almost like bangalore.

I also lived in dubai and I can say singapore is approx 2.5 time more expensive than middle east. middle east has no income tax. Also things in middle east are cheap compare to singapore.

so if you can compromise on your economical goals then you can try otherwise it is world most expensive city or country. 

Also singapore is changing visa policy very often. It is hard to get singapore ep these days than in middle east…

If you can take all these risk then you can come anytime in singapore.

@Rajesh Sharma1 Thanks for your detailed answer.  looks like my employer is not offering more. However, they pay 4*salary as bonus.  I may have to reject the offer then.

@LG4god

Thank you very much for your elaborate answer. Seems like it doesn’t worth moving to Singapore with such low pay.

I suggest you that just wait  for better offer. As 13 years of experience guy you should get more.

Hi,

Having a job in Singapore is not easy and congrats on fetching this pay because a lot of foreigners who are working in Singapore are fetching alot lesser than you are. But they still make the change to come over.

Singapore might not be the cheapest country to stay. But security and job progression is a guarantee Singapore government promised. Furthermore you are coming over a professional which is why you are able to offer this salary.

Accomodation is Singapore can be flexible from renting a place by yourself to sharing. Locations, facilities and amenities plays a major role in the rental.
