Bcoz I just work for the company for less than 60 days so that I will exempt from the tax, IRAS categorized it as Short Term Employment. So the day where I earn my salary, which is 55 days that I work in my current company.
So if more than 60 days, I need to pay 15% of my salary for the tax.

So do you mean even if i got my salary, I need to pay back to my employer to clear the tax right?

Hi, I am just wondering in general, how much % of salary increase am I expecting after probation period of 3 months? Let's say the performance is kind of average.

for my Co, 0% after finishing probation period. What is the big deal of finishing a probation period that warrant a pay raise?

Actually I wasnt thinking of the tax part
But your pay day is on the final day of the month?
Mine's on the 10th, meaning if i leave on the 11th with 1 day notice i'll have to pay back the remaining days of the month that I've already received

quite surprise to hear that it's normal for not getting a pay raise after confirmation. please don't get me wrong but at least through the people i know, they do get a pay raise after confirmation, but it's in Malaysia though. the last job that I rejected back in Malaysia, they do let me know my salary during the probation and after the probation too when they send me the offer letter. but i rejected the job because of some other reasons.

How's the MY package like since they know you are working in SG? You ask for the salary in your application or they offer you within their budget?

Only left 1.6k nia. nowadays save this 1.6k dunno when then can go back msia.

unless i leave totally and take cpf along also...

u single or married?usual SGD1k spending per month for single would be on the high side....
Saving SGD1.6k per month...would be still much much better than trying to save up RM4000 back in MY.....every SGD dollar save its MYR3+/-

Wow, I think my expectation is too high already. 3,5k is around 74% from my current salary dollar to dollar. Anyway at least I have some hints what to put.

Salary offer in Sg is not too high actually. I notice most of them work out very detail JD, it specified skills, domain, product, in a way that very detail. U can put high unless that position is exactly what u have been through.

Yes...because i get the idea of him saying that SGD1.6k savings per month is not good enough...
SGD5 per meal x 3 a day x 30 days for a month...thats SGD450 for meals...hp another 50 bucks...
public transport 100-150 a month...thats SGD650....still got another 350....misc expenses 100-150 for 1 person per month is more than enough. So i'm saying that he/she could save up even more...to maybe even SGD1.8k++ per month
