Is 180,000 pa good enough?

[JS]

Hi, I have an offer from a Singapore company for 180,000 per annum (split over 13 months). The pay is all local - no expat benefits with bonus on top. Is this normal sort of package in singapore terms? I am wondering how good is it (saving potential) considering that I will be sending 2 kids to school (I am aware that International Schools have high costs.

Look forward to your views

Thanks

depends where are you come from and what's your life style.

to singaporean, this is a very good pay already. most of them earn 3000-7000 singapore dollar.

School fee per year approx S$45,000/y(12,000 USDx 2) + rent 30000(2500 x12)....It really depends on which school and where you gonna live but I think you'll be fine.
