we use the PPP as an unbiased guide.

PPP Singapore (1.08), your proposed sg salary is 10000sgd, converting to PPP is 9300 intl dollar
PPP India (17.04), your current indian salary is 5700sgd or 290000inr. converting to PPP is 170000 intl dollar.

you effectively take a 45% pay cut in view of Singapore being more expensive.

A toyota altis in Singapore cost $90,000sgd.

Hard to maintain the usual standard of living. I would ask your comapany to offer another 10000sgd, to 20000sgd if you want to have a car and send your kids to good school.

haha i saw what you did there.. actually for a high class indian like him, he should ask for a raise to $30,000 sgd before he even considers moving.. just look at how hard his compatriots are working at changi city point everyday, walking up and down the mall acting all busy..

OP>> as you might have noticed by now, this thread is frequented by locals who may not be too eager to help answer your question. You may want to look for an expat forum instead.

That said, what could help would be to list the major expenses you currently anticipate (would be good to be specific - e.g. rental for a private condominium? or just something something economical with three bedrooms?) and see if others are able to make suggestions.

Even then, you'll probably get better results on another forum, honestly.

Is it a good salary by Singaporean standards? Is it a lucrative offer in Singapore?

In India SGD 5700 is more than a good salary and I can afford to maintain a house, a car , my wife and 2 kids.

Hard to maintain the usual standard of living. I would ask your company to offer another 10000sgd, so that your montly is 20000sgd if you want to have a car and send your kids to good school. You can justify with my calculations using PPP.

Is there an authoritative PPP list which you referred to? I would like to do some comparisons to other countries. Thanks!
