Hi All,

I am new to this forum and was wondering if someone could help me with Oil and Gas Expat wages.

I know it is base on experience, position etc but does any have an "average" wage that as a guide. My experience is approx 10yr+ and have a mixture of technical and managerial (mostly from Australia). I am current in KL working for a company and just wanted to get a feel for what the market is like.

Your help is much appreciated.
Cheers

Thanks Gravitas and Stumpy for your help.

Much appreciated.

Hi man
I am like you near 9yrs experience in oil and gas. No clear answer you will get. For me many people they will  say for example that a 25K myr is wow salary  but I feel that it is not wow Most people especially local will said you are rich but for me the rich person who earn 100K a month.  Please share your experiences.

cheers

As I posted on other post 32k or USA plus 20% for an oil and gas engineer.

Teachers get 15-30k a month and lowest paid expats usually.

Hi nemodot
do you mean nett or gross I mean for teachers ?

Thanks

Hero 55 - stop asking stupid questions.

Graviras- there are no stupid questions, only stupid answers (like yours )

Always gross as nett is an unknown quantity, depending of a number of different circumstances. e.g. income tax, personal allowances, allowances for children, other benefits in kind, etc.

Nett for me and for most people is after the tax which is around 26% here in Malaysia. And since he was talking about basic salary I was meaning basic salary after tax

Tax is only 26% if non resident. Otherwise it is on a scale with at the moment also 26% as max rate. Better income tax rates though in 2015

Here are details of the current and 2015 tax rates:

Tax steps on annual salary are:
                                2014                                                   2015
0-5,000                    0%                                                       0%
5,001-10,000           2% (RM100)             5,000-10,000      1%
10,001-20,000         2% (RM100)             10,001-20,000    1%
20,001-35,000         6% (RM300)             20,001-35,000    5%
35,001-50,000       11% (RM1,200)          35,001-50,000   10%
50,001-70,000       19% (RM2,850)          50,001-70,000   16%
70,001-100,000     24% (RM6,650)         70,001-100,000   21%
Exceeding 100k     26%                          100,001-250,000  24%
                                                               250,001-400,000  24.5%
                                                            Exceeding 400 000  25%

NOTE: Non-resident individuals are subject to income tax at a fixed rate of 25%, reduced by 1% from current 26%.
