Perhaps others have more data, but I would expect for a webdesigner, even with 8y of experience there would be heaps of locals able to do this job. In other words, I would stay prepared for some formal MoM troubles ahead.kijan.maharjan wrote:I have 8 years of experience in web designing field, 5 years in web design and 3 years in project and product management.

So my salary is now SGD 5900 according to gov rule and I will be getting SGD 3500.
1. Is this the good salary for 8 years experience in IT field in singapore?
2. Can i survive with SGD 3500 along with my wife ?
3. What is the tax amount I have to pay for SGD 5900?
Thank you.
Ya salary and housing allowance is separate. I will stay with my wife. None of the other employees will stay with me. I will get SGD 3500 cash a apartment. I don't have to pay for the apartment but to show to MoM or Gov. The salary is 5900 which also includes 2400 housing allowance.PNGMK wrote:IS the salary and housing allowance separate? How many people in the company house? Tax will be almost zero at that level (maybe $1000 at most per year). IT's ok you can survive here on that.
I hope they will provide me with all the facilities because I'm will be staying with my wife only none of the other company employee will stay with me. I was thinking if I get 2400 in cash too I can find a cheap apartment to stay may be around 1000+ SGDbro75 wrote:You can survive, sure. But I am sure you want to live a bit more comfortably. You need to ensure that the 2.4K for the apartment provided by the company is really worth 2.4K. For 2.4K , you can have a whole 3 bedroom HDB apartment for yourself or a 2 bedroom condo. If your company puts you in an apartment with no facilities together with other people, then it is not worth 2.4K. It would be better for you take that 2.4K in cash and find your own apartment. Your tax rate is somewhere at about 4% for a declared salary of 5900. I am not sure if the salary is industry standard for your field.
I have a different role than webdesigner in this company. The role stated is frontend programmer but I will also have to do project management and some other stuffs as product manager. I'm not so sure what is the salary I should get for my job functionalities.x9200 wrote: Perhaps others have more data, but I would expect for a webdesigner, even with 8y of experience there would be heaps of locals able to do this job.

How do you calculate the tax amount per year?

if your declared salary is 5,900. You will have to pay tax based on 5,900. Good luck.kijan.maharjan wrote: How do you calculate the tax amount per year?
Yes basic take home salary is 3,500 and declared as 5,900. 5,900 will be shown to Gov as well.ecureilx wrote:your basic take home salary is 3,500 but declared as 5,900.kijan.maharjan wrote:

if your employer tells MOM your salary is 5,900, again, they are cheating the system.kijan.maharjan wrote: Yes basic take home salary is 3,500 and declared as 5,900. 5,900 will be shown to Gov as well.
Am I qualify for EP? If I'm only eligible for S pass, Can my wife apply for DP?
there's a wee bit of problem.. OPs boss will declare the salary as 5,900, if I read correctly. In which case pay of 5900 is used to calculate Tax.Strong Eagle wrote:You need to read about how provision of accommodations is taxed.

If they are actually providing him with a furnished place to stay, then there are specific IRAS provisions for declaring the provided accommodation as income. If the employer pays $2400 per month for the place and the employee pays nothing, then the employee must declare $2400 in income, hence $5900 is OK.ecureilx wrote:if your employer tells MOM your salary is 5,900, again, they are cheating the system.kijan.maharjan wrote: Yes basic take home salary is 3,500 and declared as 5,900. 5,900 will be shown to Gov as well.

If they truthfully declare your salary is 3,500 then your EP chances are iffy. You may struggle to get EP, and NO DP.
