Is 5000 SGD enough and can we save decent amount.....

To put it simply ,

You need 5 k if you are single.
And 10 k + if ur married with kids.

Education accommodation and health care is expensive there .
Remember singapore is amongst the top expensive places to live in the world.
Also which district you will stay will matter.

To add to Rajrana's post above:
- 1BHK flats are very rare in Singapore - you won't find one to rent.
- The only accommodation options in the S$800-1200/month range are sublet rooms in shared apartments (above S$1000/month if you want an attached bath)
- Rent for whole apartments (usually 2BHK) starts at S$2000-2500, but S$3000/month is more realistic.
- You need S$800-1000/month per person for all other daily expenses (frugal lifestyle without any luxuries)
- If you have kids, you must also consider school fees of S$500/month (public school - very difficult to get into for foreign kids) or S$1500-3000/month (private schools, more likely for foreigners). Child care starts around S$1000/month (full day care)
- Taxes are very low (at least one good news!) and would amount to less than S$1000/year in your case
Sum up all the above, then add your desired monthly savings and you get what you need to earn.
S$5000 is not enough for a family, by far!

Oh, I just saw "heavy use of AC".
This can add several S$100 to your electricity bill every month. At this salary you can't afford that!
