How much money is sufficient for a Family of four to survive in Hongkong which includes two kids one 8 years and one 4 years. Assuming both will go in international school.
If you earning 22000HKD per month.
50% for Rental + Electricity, Water (around 150-200ft non-sharing flat). You can save more if you can find 7-9K rent, i think it is okay for single person. But ask above the safety etc.
On average if you spend $150/day for food, it is $4650/month. But say you need to party per week, then maybe 8K per month for food. (40%)
So actually cannot save much. You can find cheap takeaway in HK (Like <$40 per meal), or cook at home (probably just $20 per meal).
Here’s my comment:
For anyplace rental price below $10,000 in either hk island or Kowloon, you r expecting tiny small space of around 60 to 150 sq feet.
For a salary of $ 20,000, u can survive after paying 50% for food and 50% for rental.
For a 310sq feet, 3x to 4x year old apartment in Jordan, (close to TST), I paid $12888-14500 for 3 years
For a 430 sq feet 40 year old apartment, rental was $16000-18,000, depends on condition.
Everything in hk are expensive, be prepared to living very minimally if u earn below $30,000/ month as a single person.
You could find a single place to rent for around 6k~12k hkd, depends on the quality.
22k HKD is just fine. Not much taxes you need to pay.
I am looking at immigrating to Hong Kong and so far, the vacancies I've seen offer a minimum salary of 22000HKD which is roundabout $2800USD and I am assuming this amount is the gross. Would it be a good move as a single person (no husband and no kids)? Would I have any disposable income after paying taxes and rent? Areas mentioned were Kowloon or New Territories side - is that central or will I find affordable accommodation as I prefer not to share a living space? Will I be able to have any leftover income to put into my savings? Many thanks.
Thank you very much Gid for blessing me nice life.
