Current MY Salary - RM15.2k gross, RM11k nett
Potential SG salary - SGD10k gross

Rental - SGD1500
Food, transport, Bills etc - SGD1000


Balance SGD4900 x 2.45 (using an average long term rate) = RM12k

Hence, is it worth it to move to SG just for RM1k extra?

Dafug is this calculation man. Malaysia no need to pay for housing, food, transport, etc? doh.gif

It's not CPF but EPF. The employer has confirmed able to contribute to Malaysia EPF.
The tax I believe is 15% for this salary bracket.

Nevertless, would anyone suggest to move down for RM1k extra?

If u put it that way then, rm1k not worth it loh.
1 nite ktv u blow that away already.

You'll become PR as soon as you reach here?

Work pass holder no need to pay CPF one wor (~EPF in M'sia).

Btw... RM15k to SG10k is -50% d. That's quite a lot actually. From what I read before, normal case is just around 20% lower (RM10k become 8kSGD).

Anyway... 10k SGD drool.gif Really elite!

It's EPF, not CPF. The company is willing to do this so as to existing benefits are maintained.

Sure normally is just a 20% drop? SGD10k is the offer if I get the job. Will know more once job is confirmed.

It's minimal. Most is already covered. So it still comes to circa RM1k extra only

Thanks. I was under the impression that it's 15% flat for above 120k but looks like its only 15% for quantum above 120k till 160k. So it's about SGD600+ per month then.

biggrin.gif You're transferring from M'sia to SG?

I'm not sure but some people said that.


As for me, I just started, haven't even touch the 3k bracket. Nothing much I know about those high income bracket thingy sad.gif


For my level, yes it's possible to get even same salary as in M'sia. Or just 10~20% lower. For you all the high income group I not sure. I definitely save more than working in MY though. Considering that I don't and is impossible to buy a SG car but if work in M'sia sure need buy car.

only PR and Singaporean have CPF, the rest don't have. Singapore tax is generally lower than Malaysia, probably just 50% of what you have projected here. If you need more info you could pm deodorant, he's among the elite few who hit $10k/month mark ( fiona chin pls confirm ). What industry are you in?

still have 200mbps plan? thought their plan start from 1gbps. The only advantage I see using MyRepublic is the 'hypertunnel' service, taking out the hassle of setting up a VPN manually. You can subscribe to Netflix or Hulu straight away. Just that you have less selection of servers if you wanna go 'anonymous' on your online activities smile.gif

Can consider car pool as well, normally a trip cost SGD 5-7.
You might have to wake up 5+ morning and back home 8+.
If you don't mind q-ing, rushing and no after work life. this could be a good option
