What do you pay your maid per month?

i am cheapskate! where can i get a maid for S$150/month!

How many expats are going to come on a forum and say "I'm a cheapskate. I will not pay anything more than the minimum I can get away with!"?

Well, looks like durain took the challenge.


Of course, his question was already answered in the same post.

Indians usually opt for Sri Lankan maids which only get paid around 150/mo

Mustn't forget:

of course all "Expats" need to pay the domestic worker levies as well.

Bottom line -- there's a very wide range out there.

If you are going for value (or are a "cheapskate") interview carefully.
With oblique questions and watching body language you can get a glimpse of character.

Yeah, but I just consider the source!
