Hi All,

My name is Rajiv and I am currently in Delhi, India. Currently I am drawing about SGD 3500/per month (in hand after tax) I currently have a middle class living style. My wife (housewife) and child (12 years) stay together

I have got an offer from a company based in Singapore and Vice President - Sales and Business Development (Asia Pac-EMEA).

They have offered me SGD 12000 per month (Inclusive of house rent, tax, insurance etc ). They have also offered the cost of relocation as per actuals.

I had a few questions before I accept this offer and thus reaching out for an help urgently-
- Is SGD 12000/month good enough for 2 of us and my child (including his school fee)
- How much is the average cost of insurance which I need to buy
- Will I have to give tax to the SG government?

Thanks in advance.

Rajiv

S$12000/- per month is a reasonably good salary in Singapore. Yes your income is taxable
You may choose to live in a HDB flat or a condo which would be 2-3 times the rent
education at local schools would be @100/- month and international school @3000/- month
