#Hansraj Singh on Apr 10, 2014 :
Also, apart from rent you should also take into account the other fixed expenses like
1. DEWA - Min of AED 150 for water and electricity only
2. Housing Fee - Paid to Municipality (5% of you annual rent but divided over 12 months and included in DEWA. So a minimum
3. Internet + TV Cable (AED 325 per month)
4. Chiller (Min charges of AED300 per month. However, in some localities chiller and cooking gas is free).

Apart from this, one needs to pay 5% commission to the agent and 5% security deposit to the landlord. Also rent are paid in ad
2/4 cheques. Some, landlord are even asking to pay the entire annual rent upfront i.e. in 1 cheque. For families with children, the
to be paid in advance.
Please keep all these things in mind when taking your decision.
#Hansraj Singh on Apr 10, 2014 :

@ Pee Gee. Not sure if you have already made a decision. The compensation offered to you is less in my comparison. Genera
getting around 3x their Indian salary when coming to Dubai. If you are looking for a one bed accommodation in new dubai area,
spending 15,000 per month (10,000 rent + Food (for 3 people) 4,500 + School 1500). Transportation and entertainment expense
decision accordingly. Cheers

#PeeGee on Mar 28, 2014 :

I am getting an offer for AED 35000 per month. I am presently staying at New Delhi. A family of three, with six year daughter go
mentioned amount is inclusive of Basic, HRA, Travel and 1 child education. Other than these, company would be paying me a lu
settlinbg allownace. Also I will get 1-3 months bonus, Medical for the family and return flight fare to India once in a year.
Is it a good pakcage to move to UAE? I am drawing about INR 42 Lacs per annum ( before tax) in India.
Appreciate your comment and advise.
#Moe on Mar 20, 2014 :

Mo, congratulations for a good deal. An important question is are you moving as a single, couple or family ? Generally the figure
the web for rentals and schools.
#Moe on Mar 20, 2014 :
To all the posts asking about making money in Dubai, life in Dubai is generally expensive specially with rentals which if you plan
bit cheaper than Dubai you will need to take care of transportation.

Generally if you are not going to stay in a shared accommodation monthly rental is never below 5000 AED per month (1360 US
person is around 1200 AED per month (325 US$), utility bills are roughly not less than 300 AED (80 US$), other expenses such
/transportation/mobile you can spend as much as you want but I don't think less than 1000 AED per person per month.
To make it simple to have your very minimal basic needs covered:
A single would need a minimum monthly salary of 7,500 AED (2050 US$)
A couple would need a minimum monthly salary of 9,800 AED (2670 US$)

For the high social level expats and people who want to live a decent life, if you are not paid triple the numbers above you are co
mistake in your life.

Think twice before you make a move to Dubai. Its not a bed of roses. You work hard for your money, which is basically little or n

administrative assistant is not enough to compete with western people. May be vocational training in home country will be much
there.I believe that food, accommodation and transportation is provided by employer for those who are getting less salary.

Its amazing the ignorance amongst the people commenting on this page. The prices are shown as it is to a global comparative s
to put another city as a comparative for costs. Yet you get people asking about if their offer is enough. Put two and two togethe
costs so much, so if you are earning below that, either you have to share one room with 3 others or get a better paying job. If yo
factor that in. Its not rocket science, its basic common sense. Good luck to Dubai, if you get an influx of these workers.
#Jay on Sep 12, 2013 :

Hi.
I am going through the details, it all says about the salary, and whether can i live , but they have not mentioned the type of work t
experience . Please make it very clear , what kind of job you do, what is your experience, what is offered. so that it is easier and
to reply.

BTW ,i am work software, as Project manager, and have 15 years of IT experience, i am planning to move from INDIA to Duba
stage, what could be the decent salary,in comparison to INDIAN salary of 18 lakhs.[ $ 36,000 / year @ Rs50 conversion ]
thanks and regards
