What is the cost of living per month? How much should I ask for as a salary?

게시된 위치 싱가포르 공개토론

Hi everybody!

I am considering a job offer in Singapore in the design field. I was asked what I expect to earn per month but I do not have the slightest idea what to say because I do not know how to calculate the cost of living in Singapore.
Can anybody help?
I am a recent graduate and I have read that graduates (Masters) in my field earn about $ 2900 per month. I also read that rental costs are quite high, from $ 2000 up, but I am super ok with flatsharing too... How could I calculate the salary I need?
The company has also informed me that they could not provide for any temporary accommodation on my arrival...
What should I say/do...? What would you recommend?
Thanks for your time and help.

    in my opinion, to have a comfortable single life with some savings you need at least 4k salary. a 2-bedroom condo unit will be easily 3k. Assuming you do find a flat mate, you split the rent 40/60 depending on who takes the master bedroom. basic necessities, utilities, and transportation in a month can be about 1000. additionally, for renting, there's a one month security deposit and one month advance, and of course agent commission, so maybe the company can provide you an advance.
