Hi Chander,

Welcome to EB Maldives!

Since your company will provide your accommodation that i assume electricity and water bills are included, all you just need to think about is your food allowance. The average cost of complete meal in a resto  is around 5usd so your allowance is not enough obviously. The best option is to cook your own food. This way you can save a lot. Me for example, i'm spending MVR500 per week for food and other grocery items. This is around USD32, or USD128 for a month.

Oh by the way, the cost above is for a single person only. It will be more of course for a couple.

Cheers =)

Hi Wow Penoy,

Thanks for your valuable comments.

As per my observations the above salary package is not good enough for a couple.

Can you please advised me what is the average salary for Junior Accountant in Male, Maldives.


Thanks,
