How much would it cost to live in Singapore along with my spouse. Planning to relocate in Dec 08. ?

Question

My approx salary would be S$5K to 6K. Would like to know approx. minimum expenses for Accommodation (cooking allowed) either for master room or HDB unit. Would this salary would be enough to stay in singapore. Insurance would be taken care by company.

Answer 1

Yes it is more than enough for you to support the rental of a normal HDB unit. Unless you want to rent an apartment in a condo and it also depends if its outskirt or near to town area (which would be more costly).

Answer 2

yes of course

Answer 3

Hi there,

That amount of salary should be fine. In fact, my family survived with far less.. However, it depends on how luxurious you want your life to be.

As for the accommodation, the minimum is about S$500.

Enjoy your stay in Singapore :)

Answer 4

$1500 per month a family of 4 can survive.. the middle class aka sandwich class of singaporeans, so $6000 for two people, confirm and definetely can survive.. welcome to singapore and choosing singapore for relocation.. master room in a hdb costs less than $1000 but above $800 and attached toilet.. depends on location, agent you chose and the commission to him and other deals with the owner for the contract etc.. hdb unit for a 5 room flat would be $1800 like which am living now.. in a place called sengkang.. for two people, should be about $1200 to $1500 for a 3 or 4 room flat, whole unit from hdb.. life insurance, fire insurance, health insurance, property insurance.. and travel insurance.. all is necessary in a place like singapore.. as medical costs for foreignors burns a hole in your wallet..
