How much is considered a good income/monthly salary in Singapore?
Q. How much do I have to earn monthly to be able to have a good life in Singapore if I'm going to live permanently?
I mean not to live in poverty or even a bit above poverty.

A. Depends on your cost of living and style of living.

Given that you rent a rm in HDB (around $500), eats at hawker centre ($4 per meal) and travel by buses and trains (monthly transportation average around $200 depending nature of work), the average cost is around $1200.


Given that you rent a 3 Rm HDB (Public Housing) wholly (I estimate $1500+/-), eats at hawker centre ($4 per meal) and travel by buses and trains (monthly transportation average around $200 depending nature of work), the average cost is around $2000.

Given that you rent a 2 Rm service apartment, eats at restuarant ($15 per meal) and travel by own private car (Montly car loan repayment + petrol+ maintenance works roughly about $1000), the average cost is around $5000.

So you need to draw a line on where is your line of comfort.


How much is the living expense in Singapore?
Q. I could get by at bare minimum in America for 725 US Dollars or about 930 Singapore Dollars. Can you survive with that much money in Singapore?
My 930 Singapore Dollars includes renting and food but nothing else. Utilities paid by the landlord.

A. Rent for one room in a public housing flat costs 700 at the very least. It could be all inclusive, depending on the lease agreement

Food costs $2.50 to $4.50 per meal at most places where locals eat, $2.50 for non-air conditioned places, $4.50 at foodcourts with aircon. You could cook but cooking is not cheap. Instant noodles and bread can be cheap though.
