Yes it is good salary.  Normally when you take a house here you have to buy their old house hold items.You will get furnished house also but I advise you to take unfurnished house and buy the furniture as per your requirement (if you find a new building) ,for furnished house  you have to pay additional KD100/150  per month. Employer should give travel allowance to India every year or medical should be free for your whole family

3 bhk house unfurnished: KD  450-550 furnished: KD 700 (approx in Salimya  area where most of the Indians living)
2 bhk house unfurnished: KD 350-450 PM
Home made food+outside food+outing for 4 persons: KD 250-300 PM
Schools for two : KD 800 per year (approx)
Car : KD 80-100( Toyota corolla etc.. ) and SUV : KD 150 (approx) EMI

You can save around KD 900-1000
