Hello anybody, would like to ask whether QR 12900/month salary is enough (and for some savings of course) for a family with 3 kids? Housing (or housing allowance), school is provided by Company.
There will be transport allowance also but I still don't get the detail yet.
Will get car loan also; with that range of salary how much loan will I get & how much I have to pay every month? Anybody have any idea, please?

As you mentioned that you would get either Company's Accomodation or Housing Allowance, and your kids' education would also be provided by your company...Then, keeping a moderate life style, you can save even upto 5,000/month within this salary range. If you go for a hi-fi life....then SKY IS THE LIMIT.

Cheerzzzzzzz.

Since company is taking care of your housing,schooling(for three kids? I dont think so),and what about the medical? you can save if you restrict your unnecessary expenditures:

1.Food for your family: 2500/month

2.Phone : 300/month

3.Other expenses : 500/month

4.water,electricity : 400/month

So, balance amount will be your best saving.

It will all depend on how your lifestyle will be. For a couple the salary would be enough. But you would have to take the company provided accommodation since getting the allowance and finding a house in that range might be difficult. However, since you have three children you might have to spend a lot on their food clothing etc. which can be expensive.
