Pun_pint - I trust you have verified the vacancy and attended an in-person interview because there are quite a few job scams around at the moment in universities and international schools.

To work out any savings here are the tax steps (the tax is 25% flat rate for the first 6 months) then stepped based on the total annual salary i.e. a different % at each band of salary earned. It easiest to work out annual tax and then divide by 12 to get monthly tax.

School fees depend on age/class level as well as the status of the school in terms of performance, etc.
