You forget there's tax. Once you count tax in it's not far from B4.

You'll only earn around 66000 pounds after tax. If your rent is 1000 pounds (standard for central London) you earn 54000 pounds. That's about SGD 98,000. If your rent is 2000 pounds, you'll only earn 42,000 pounds a year which is SGD 76,000. Cost of flights twice a year removes a further SGD 4000.

Your living expenses will also be a lot higher.

To qualify, this is on a GBP 100,000 salary. If it is GBP 120,000, your salary will be around GBP 78,000 per year after tax.

B4 £3-4K is pretax preCPf

After deducting the above is how much?
Housing also not free. Live with parents as single doesn’t mean is free.
Singapore houses also not cheap.
