Compare your annual salary (2008)

if you compare using the calculator given, it would be high. but if you were to compare with the graduates now, it would in the middle leaning slightly to the low side. but average la

i meant comparing 34 years old who have at least a bachelor degree...i don't mean compare with fresh graduates.

I kinda knew my pay was low.

Sigh.

not bad oledi lar..take it easy

annual income = 12mths pay + all ot pay + all bonous + all commision

if annual is 60000 = u earn 5k a month

annual income is all b4 tax and b4 cpf

Your annual income of $60,000
is higher than 60.4% of all resident taxpayers.

But you cant compare with the general public. you should compare with your peers, like those who are holding executive positions (like engineers, auditors, lawyers...). $60000 per year is really very little.

ok, sorry... i do not mean very little. its more than enough to support a family. but what i am trying to say is that many people who are graduates in the mid 30's are earning at least 6k per month. so its not a lot.

for example, a person who is lets say 35 who has a degree would be a assitant manager in an engineering company, a audit manager in the big 4, an accounts manager in a SME. I do not even have to mention the lawyers, doctors and investment bankers. All of the above have at least 6k a month.

Sugar, u sound like a high flyer are u?

I guess I shld learn to be contented with my pathetic pay.

i am not a high flyer....but i am just looking at my friends, my colleague's friends, friend's friends...you know...generally the market rate is like that. its not pathetic....like i said there are almost half of the grads out there who are 35 yr old whose pay is less than yours
