A well known qatari company is offering me a position with a salary of 18000 QAR per month. Is that enough for living at a good standards for a couple.

Please answer me, Thanks a lot.

The answer depends on how you will spend your life with your family here in Qatar, e.g. luxurious, medium, or simple.

But try to consider this monthly budget (QAR)

House Rental = 7,500

Foods = 2,500

Water = 200

Electricity= 200

Transportation=1,600

Education= 600 (depends on no of students)

Clothing = 500

Insurance = 600

Medicine = 200

Misc = 200

TOTAL = 14,000

NET = 18,000 - 14,100

= 3,900

VVVVVVVV

That may only be a medium budget computation..

Dear,

It depends upon your life style & mind set.

Even the people survive over here by getting 300 riyals monthly,

So it doesn't matter,It depends upon your position,

If you are in manager position it will below your average.

If you are in IT it is also low,But normaly 18k is ok over here.

if that 18k per month plus with others benefit, it is more than enough.
