I am from India and have been offered a job in Cape Town that will pay R 450,000 per annum. I think the taxes are as high as 40% and Healthcare is as high as R3,000 per month. I am worried whether we will be able to rent a safe gated apartment in a safe area around Gardens and live comfortably with approximately R 28,000 per month after taxes and Healthcare deductions. After paying Rent, Utilities, Food, Gas and School fees; looks like the savings will not be more than R4,000 per month. Am I analyzing this wrong?
