Is this salary good enough

faisal qasim

Dear Expat Community,


I've been offered a fixed salary of SAR 29200 per month + variable yearly pay of SAR 96000 + SAR 15000 as child education expenses + VIP insurance.


I'm confused, is it a good salary for Riyadh Saudi?


FYI, we're 4 family members (myself, wife, 1 infant and 1 school going child).


Pls. advice.

Hi, this is a pretty decent salary for a family in general. Not so fancy though too if you are expecting to stay in compounds as they have an annual starting rent from 60k onwards upto 200k SAR yearly.


Also, I hope you are aware about family dependant fees of 400SR/month per person.
