Hi,
I'm currently based in Auckland,NZ and considering a job offer in Bahrain for an IT company. They are offering me the below
Salary - 2100
Fixed Component of the salary - 1470/month and the
variable would be 630 BD /month
HAP - 50 BD
Car Allowance - 160 BD
++ school allowance - 80% of the school fees
++ Extra 1 month leave and 13th month salary -
Let me know if this is sufficient to stay comfortably( I know its a broad term) in Bahrain. How much money can I look to potentially save in a month? My kids are aged 8 yrs and 3 yrs old and would need schooling as well. How much expenditure would I need to shell out towards
Rent - ? BD( Needs to be in a safe and good locality)
School - ? BD (company agrees to pay 80% of the school fees)
Transportation - Car - ? BD (How much BD /mth for the car lease)
Food and other living expenses - ? BD
Many thanks in advance for your inputs.

Is this salary enough for a family of 4?

I think you should be fine with the salary you mentioned!!!
How much money can I look to potentially save in a month? My kids are aged 8 yrs and 3 yrs old and would need schooling as well.
How much expenditure would I need to shell out towards
Rent - ? Between 500-700BD you can get a good apartment in a good location ( Needs to be in a safe and good locality)
School - ? BD (company agrees to pay 80% of the school fees) I have no ideas about school fees in Bahrain ... Sorry Mate
Transportation - Car - ? (How much BD /mth for the car lease) Between 150-200BD/Month you can get a reasonable car!!!
Food and other living expenses - ? Per adult I would say an average of 100BD/Month can cover groceries and such stuff; if you will consider eating outside and entertainment of course the figure I mentioned will go much higher
Many thanks in advance for your inputs.
PS. The figures mentioned above are indicative and might go higher or lower depending on your lifestyle.
Hope this Helps
