if my help is required plz contact me.

if you are going to Lahore,

Welcome to a nice, good and clean city of Pakistan.


their are slab rates for income tax in Pakistan, so better to check this site for the slab in which you monthly salary will fall

www.cbr.gov.pk

and cost of living depends upon person to person, i mean u can not only fill your belly with 10 dollars but also with 25 cents.  their are good hotel, cafeterias and bakeries.  but most of the time people go to the good hotel, good hotel doesnt mean expensive, like Karahi gosht of Butt at lakshami chowk, Basheer mahi's Fish at Mozang, and nice breakfast at gourme bakers etc. it wont cost you more than 15 dollars a day.

petrol is a little expensive, so people use CNG as their fuel, better to keep a nice sedan instead of SUV, it will help in rush hours, and trafic loads.

and cloths are very nice, u can buy G2000 shirts from City towers, Pace Center, and offcourse the new shopping plazas.  Marks & Spencer brand is there, pierre Carden etc etc. and at good prices.

for shoes, hush puppies, leather point, urban sol, are good.

ok, if u want something more, plz reply to this topic, i will catch u back friend.

I've written up an article detailing housing, food, domestic help and transport costs. We don't have kids so no education costs, and we paid for health costs out of pocket.

You can also read more on my blog ExpatHeather.com, where I've posted the links to over 100 articles I've written about expat life and travel in Pakistan. From things like which pasta to buy, how to get good drinking water, to how to find housing to what things to pack and what to wear to a wedding...

I happen 2 own a 3 Bd, 3bath, double story house in Lahore in a rather safe and clean and most importantly cost effective neighbourhood, for which I have also posted an ad on this site.

V r also planning to start an expat gathering in LHE soon. So, u won't b alone.

Take care,

Sultan

expenses depend upon you if you are with a family or alone. it will be cost saving if you are alone and keep low cash in pocket.
