travelling by bus/train - $100
gas -$40
electricity and water - $80
tax - annual, depends on income
newspaper - $30
cable - $40 (basic channels)
food - hawker prices will be about $3 per person per meal; food court will be around $4

$3 x 2 meals x 30days = $180 (per person)

you mentioned sometimes they cook so they can cut down expenses on food.

i am doing an estimation. hope this helps.

According to the research, Singapore's total expenditures are ranked at 17th for first quarter of 2006. First in the line is Korean, followed by Japan. We're 17th and we were ranked at 34th in 2005. Go figure.

The job seeker can either live rather cheaply in Singapore, or can live a life of luxury. Salaries are competitive, and numerous benefits (such as recreation facilities and bonuses) make working here a rewarding experience.

Food is relatively cheap in Singapore. Food courts (which are often air-conditioned) or what are commonly called hawkers' centers are recommended for an inexpensive, hearty meal. However, restaurant prices are higher.

Those on expatriate compensation packages may also receive additional benefits, such as transportation/car allowances, housing, childcare, payment of school fees, entertainment allowances, and work-related benefits.
