Is 16K a good salary??
By dipti.sahani •
Hi,my husband has been offered a job in Qatar with a salary of 16000. we have a 3 year old child. I would like to know whether 16000 is good enough a package considering its all inclusive which means we will have to rent a 2 bedroom apartment, get a car, etc. We would like to put our child in a good Indian curriculum school. Please help me out.

A good 2BHK would cost you somewhere around QR 6000-8000(furnished/semi furnished)..And that too depends on the locality...
There are few good INDIAN SCHOOLS in DOHA..seeing your baby's age, better drop her at KINDERGARTEN first which are of in abundance in DOHA...
Nice furnished apartments -2 bedroom costs like only 5k+car EMI maximum 2K and schooling in good school maximum 2K so its gonna be OK with this salray.You will have a decent life..
Basic sedans
Nissan Tiida
Nissan Sunny
Mitsubishi Lancer
Chevrolet Optra
Cost 1800 QAR per month on rental basis but if you buy them EMI comes between 1000 to 1200 QAR. Most people don't buy as they are in here for a short while so easier and stress free to rent one.
how much would a good 2BHK accommodation cost us and other living expenses like grocery, education for my child, electricity, etc...... we need to get our own car as the car allowance is included in the salary, so how much would be the EMI of a good sedan??
16k is good enough a salary to survive here in Qatar. If you husband can still speak to his company and get an accommodation, then it will be like an icing on the cake.
also, if he is in sales im sure he should get a car as well as incentives, fuloos yaani :)
his designation is that of a Sales Manager...
First- Not very advisable to put up the name of the company with your real name. Edit that part out.
Second- As for the salary, it's good enough, not great but not bad either..
Families are living on 8,000 QAR as well and I meet some families moaning about only 50,000 that they get.
If he is in sales, he should get a car from the company so I guess you can cross out that from your expenditure. Every sales guy in here gets one.
Salary for what?
Your husband will be working as?
