Hi i am planning to move to Johar Bahru for permanent job in very near future. Employer has offered me 20000 RM salary per month along with other facility like school education reimbursement + medical benefits + 50 % house rent allowance + annual travel benefit. Whether it would be sufficient salary to live good life there. What would be monthly cost to run four members family (2 adults + 2 school going kids) like rent + gas,water, electricity, internet bills + monthly groceries and vegetables + other routine costs. Here in india i am getting good salary of 1.7 lakh pm net after deducting tax amount. Please suggest should it be good offer to take it up???

Depends on rent and lifestyle but rm5,000 should cover everything a normal houshold of 4 would need to purchase if rent is 2500 and below. Utilities should be around rm350 per month without aircon.

There are COL sites where checks can e made sucb as Expatistan and Numbeo. They also compare different locations. Malaysia just got cheaper as the incoming government abolished GST effective 1 June 20!8. This means lot of items eill be 6% lower in price. But staples were not taxed so food prices wont change a lot.
