House,schooling,living expenses,car etc.

For a 2 bedroom unfurnished apt. you will havta put aside something in the range of 7-8K... furnished ranges anywhere between 9-13K depending on the area you wanna live.

Groceries will come to around 1.5K a month depending on your diet, maybe even less if you're a veggie.

Schooling depends on the kinda school you wanna put your kids in... there are good Indian schools and well as the not so good ones... besides you have American and British schools as well that charge high fees...

Car loan will be in the range of 1-2K a month, depending on the car you buy...

So I think on the min level 18K a month is something you should NOT go below when negotiating your salary.

Hi,

I’m too a family of 2+2, to survive a decent life in Qatar, one would require a minimum salary of QAR 16,000/- keeping in mind that an apartment (F/F)would cost you around 8-10k monthly - thats if your lucky.

School fees - depends if you’re looking at an Indian or European standard. The rest is how you manage your expenses with a little savings to enjoy on your vacations.
