Since there is no standard for "expat" or "local" contracts, all is up to the company's policies and your negotiation skills.
In general, contracts that are considered "local" include less allowances than "expat" ones. If that is compensated by a higher base salary, you even have the additional advantage to spend the money for whatever you like.
If you need guidance on your market value, look for salary surveys - which are regularly published by some consultancies. (I listed them in a related post on this forum a few years ago.)
