[EZLINK] New to Singapore. Info required please

Hi Raja,

Firstly $6,000 wud be decent salary in Singapore.

1. Tax would be around 7 - 10% if you stay in singapore for more than
180 days in a financial year (Jan - Dec), if you stay less than 180 days
but more than 60 days then you have to pay flat 15%.

2. CBD is the heart of the city, you can find many housing areas which
you can reach there by 30 mins, and the rental would be in btw 800-1200
if you stay in HBDs. (Singapore Govt Housing), most of the people stay
there only.

3. All the utilities that you mentioned would be $200 - $300 if I am
not wrong.

4. On an average, a simple family like yours can manage the month by
$2k comfortably.

5. Work load is depending upon the project that you are working, but
generally people say Singapore work load is abit high.

6. Nowadays people are getting PR in an year.

Thanks,
Sharath.
