I'm basing my comments on the fact that you are from the UK right?
Your housing allowance isn't sufficient, so you will be dipping into your salary to pay for housing. Qr8000 for tidy but very basic 2br apartment, Qr10,000-12,000 for decent quality apartment, Qr13,000-15,000 if you want more space in a 3-4 bedroom compound villa. Check out www.zukhrof.com and www.alemadi.com.qa for rentals including photos. This will give you an accurate idea of what you will pay to get what you want.
Schooling will also drain your salary but can sometimes be negotiated into the package.
Depending on your field of work and experience you could do a little better. In saying that, your wife will have no problem picking up a job once she is under your family visa. Bear in mind she is unlikely to get housing allowance etc as a local hire. More likely to be a straight salary. Best of luck.
