Hi All,

I just got a business offer for one year in Nairobi, net salary is $3500 + accommodation in a rented apartment (3 br) + transportation + medical insurance.

Pls tell me if this salary is enough to save from it if I will be living alone.

Appreciate your soonest help here as I need to make my final decision by tomorrow

Thanks.

Hi Tamer1475
Welcome to Expat.com.
I think its a good salary with House + trasportation.
As one persons managing house (groceries 300 USD & maid 100 USD)on a higher side it would be around 400 USD + weekend outing would be around 50-60 USD each week (monthly 250 USD) SO in total you would spend on a higher side 650 USD. so your saving would be after tax deduction i.e. 30% on 3500 USD = 1050 USD. S0 may be u land up saving like 3500 - 1050 taxes - 650 = 1800 USD / month. which is ok.

I hope this information is ok for you. Inbox me if any other specific details required.

Cheerz!!!
