Hi guys, I read the first page and I still have things to clarify.

I got a job offer to go to SG, but I have never travelled there before, hence I do now know the living cost like.

But based on the 1st page, 600 for accomodation, 500 for food is my first step in calculating my expected salary.

I want to know, how much should I expect from my current MY salary to SG salary? Worse, this is a 12 month contract position. Basically everything is covered in base salary.

Please shed some lights.

I asked the person that called, what is the market rate like for someone like me. Basically I have around 4k~ MYR. The person said it would be around 4k~ SGD.

Hence, what I can brain is, I should include accomodation + living expenses into the salary that could be 5k~ SGD? And with the job being a contract position, I should increase it even further?

Because I have never gone out, I don't have the formula to calculate. Worry later the employer thinks I'm boasting or demand too high. If I demand that little, I worry I'm not getting paid the average.

Well, 4k+ MYR and 4k+ SGD, of course twice already.

Appreciate the kind replies.

I checked the first page on the tax information but the link is broken. I only managed to find their local tax but not expats.

What would 4-5k SGD be paying? Is it taxed in SG and MY?

Sorry I missed out your reply while writing.

Yes, definitely my COL is not regarded by the employer.

What I am going to do is similar. However, I believe size and scope of employer is definitely bigger. Type of industry is new too.

If I understand correctly, from what you say 1MYR:1SGD ratio is a good target to aim for. What about contractual position, how can we factor this in?

Thank you for your assistance
