• savings

  i think its depends on the kind of life you want. most importantly, you need to make sure that you have negotiated air tickets ( very common).
  
  budget for around SAR2500 pm for rent. check with your HR if they can arrange the flat, or ideally come alone initially three months.

• To Everyone

  Hi..
  I will try to help everyone with one reply.
  
  1. House rent in Khobar (or the Eastern region) is a little more costly than other regions. Comes next Jeddah then Riyadh. I dont know about expat compounds but for a mid-class flat (3-4 Rooms with a kitchen and 2 bathrooms ) you can expect rent of SR 18,000 per annum. Please notice that rents are usually paid annually or half-annually in advance. Having said that, Life in Saudi Arabia is very economic if you spend wisely. foods and goods are very cheep since KSA practice free trade with a tax free economy.
  
  2. What is the normal range for an accepted salary depends on you. If you settled the housing rent then it all depends on you. no one dies out of hunger here
  
  Generally I think SR 4,000 pm is the minumum acceptable salary if you are college graduate but salaries vary very much depending on your job and your degree but usually it will be in the range of SR 4000 - SR 8000 per month for common jobs (accountant / architect / IT technician / etc). Medical jobs usually have higher salaries but varies depending on the working place I think it would be around SR 5000 - 8000 pm for nursing jobs in normal hospitals and SR 7000 - 20,0000 pm in large hospitals ( National Guard Hospitals / Armed Forces hospitals / Aramco Hospitals ) doctors are even paid more usually between SR 10,000 - 25,000 pm.
  
  3. Life cost: as I have mentioned before if you settle housing everything else is cheap. I think SR 5000 pm will cover the costs of a family of three very conveniently but will not save much.
  
  4. Banks and Oil companies usually pay high salaries. If you get an offer in a Bank or an Oil company , don't miss it.
  
  5. Companies usually (90% of the time) offer housing / medical insurance for you and your family / Air ticket fare for you and your family annually. Make sure you get it and it will save you much of the costs here.
  
  6. Enjoy your Stay!!
