I have just come to start a probation time in a company. They suggest 500 to 650 RO. salary depending on over time working.
They will also give furnished apartment in Muscat and car with all its expenditures(bills of water, electricity, petrol, maintenance ... ) and I have 2 children. one is 14 and the other is 2.5.
I asked and found that the school fees is low for us and I calculated that for buying materials for food would cost about 150 RO per month.
The insurance only covers me.
I want to know about the other hidden expenditures that I do not know cause I am planning to bring my family and you know that it would not be find out exact expenditures.
Would you please give me advice that this kind of calculation is OK or NOT?
What are other hidden charges?
Tnx

Hi ,
I think for you hidden expanses are
1. Medical Insurance of family.
2. Cost of learning of driving ( sometimes it goes upto 2000 Riyal)
3. 150 family expanse seems to be very small for a family of 4 where small kids are there.
4. Companies generally give annual flight tickets to family. If not then that also need to count.

Enjoy staying in Muscat.
regards,
Anirban
