Cost of Living in Kuwait

[Moderated]

hey dave,

depends what job it is and what state in the US it is either, as salaries vary so much from state to state. Furthermore, in the US, no one will give you a house plus you have to pay tax on those $50,000... not to mention not much vacation leave at all, not much public holidays to speak of,  and expected to take your laptop home with you and work after hours and weekends as well.

Hi Stumpy

I checked out that site. Once you get to grips with it, it is pretty amazing. There is SO much data at the touch of a button. Damn good, well done.

Looking to be there in Nov. Just in time for the rugby season to start!!

Cheers (though not sure if I can say that there!!)

hi yall,
i have been offered a job in the ministry of defence in kuwait in 1 of their hospitals. the salary is around 1200 KD, they havent mentioned about accomodation or other benefits.
i would like to know if this salary is sufficient for the 3 of us.
will i get to save much?
if i am not offered free accomodation how much would it cost for a decent 2 bed room apartment?
also, monthly expensive as food?, transportation?,electricity?,mobile ?,

hi Zahier,

Did you manage to negotiate your salary with Al Shaya, or did they offer you 1800 in the beginning?

If you negotiated, was it after your written offer, or before a written offer from Al Shaya?

Also, would you tell us what management grade level you were offered.

I'm asking this because they offered me 1450 at grade 12. I'm not sure if that is okay? They seem very averse to negotiation at the moment.

I also have 2 children of school going age.

Hello everyone,
let me know if you think a salary of 800kd is enough for a decent life of a 3-member family? My husband also intends to find a job for 500-900kd, but until he does, 800 is what we have on our hands.
Thanks 4 ur replies

Yes, it should get you through, unless your child needs to go to school.

Pozdrav.

Thx 4 your reply, no, my kid's not starting school for the next 4 years, and by then, we should be a bit better off than in the very beginning, I guess
Pozdrav

There is one major problem that may be a deal breaker for you: you as a wife cannot sponsor your husband as a dependent. There is some info floating around saying that there are exceptions, but even then it is a major pain.

I am called for  an interview with KNPC  direct hire engineer job (18 years experience). If selected, what should be the minimum salary at which I should accept? Pl advise.

Hi,

I have an opportunity with one reputed MNC with indian fixed salary and on deputation to Kuwait for long term (18 months). They will be offering me 40$ per diem as an compensation. Accommodation + Travel to office + insurance will + fly back will be taken care by company.

I would like to know is this a good deal to take decision along with my family with the objective of saving money end of the day.

Of course I am trying to negotiate on per diem to 50-55$ which comes around 400KD per month, so Is my indian salary which is almost 15 lack + 400 KD in kuwait is the best compensation to move on.

Kindly suggest.

400 .... Don't come to Kuwait, with or without your family.

How much shall ask for along with my Indian salary then?

400 KD with no housing? Not worth the trouble.

HEY man.. read THE ABOVE POSTS!!!!

people need to stop asking this question, it is extremely irritating 

Yawn.....try reading, newbies!

Hi,
it will be tough but it mostly depends on where you eat, how much you eat out. Keep in mind that everything in Kuwait is imported so the price is higher then in places like Europe for clothing etc. However, the food, which is also imported, in supermarkets is of good quality and if you like to cook you should be ok. in Kuwait, per my albeit limited experience,the further north you go in the country the more expensive it is.

Hi,

I just got a offer in Kuwait as an accountant for 350 KD pm.

Is it good to survive. I am single.
