Food, TV, elec, internet, mobile, etc
1500 pm
--------------------
This alone is SGD 6400 pm. What about some savings, movies, eating out, etc? I suggest you ask for at least SGD 9000 per month. Or come and live alone in Singapore with 4 other guys in a single room. Of course, all this will apply after you get EP which is doubtful these days at a salary of SGD 6400.

The tax is paid based on income from 1 Jan to 31 Dec, and paid in next year between April -Aug. Assuming you are earning at least 1 month bonus, so annual income S$ 83200, tax is S$ 3700. you can choose to pay monthly installment basis or in one off payment. So the above tax rate 900 pm is not correct.
House rent 2000 (min)+ kids school fees 500-600+food and bills 1500-1800+transportation for office 100+ tax 300 pm + others 300. I believe it is possible to manage within 5000 pm for a decent living, not luxury, unless you want to spend more for housing.
No need to send kids to international school, local schools education quality better than international school.
Singapore transportation is very much disable friendly. In fact one of the best in the world. Surely, if you are not you cannot expect any disable benefits from government.
