Hello All,

I am moving to Cyberjaya in next month. I just want to know if 6500 Malaysian ringgit is enough to have good amount of saving in Cyberjaya. As I am single and housing is provided by company, so I just want to know what will be the tax amount and what will be the approx other expenses and how much I can save per month in Cyberjaya.

Resident rate will be around RM400 per month

Food and Dining RM1000-1500 per month

Transport RM350

You may need to add extra for entertainment - Cyberjaya is also very dull place to live and a bit cut off so you may need a contingency for that.

Just to add, you will pay income tax on your accommodation value as it is a benefit in kind.
