Hi All, I am a new member of this forum and Im seeking for advice, can anyone help me to know what is the basic salary and cost of living to live a decent life in UK.(if you have links or old forums). I am employee of a Bank in Singapore, and my company is offerring for a relocation but expenses will be shoulder by myself. Im considering the relocation but I what to know what is the basic and decent salary to live and work in UK particularly in Chester,Whales,Liverpool (south part).My area of job scope is in IT industry. Appreciate your help in advance
IT industry? Programming, networking? Put it this way, the UK government demands sponsors of spouse visas earn at least £18,600.00 per year, if you can earn more than that then you will be fine. But you will find the UK is very expensive to live in. Check first the salary you would get and let us know, we can tell you how far that could go.
Hi Kuya, Thanks for the response appreciate it! Salary are still in negotiation with my company and I have to clue what should I ask for whether its high or low for me and my employer, How about for example I want to rent a flat (2 or 3 rooms) planning to get a visa for my wife and one child. Do you think I can ask for 6000 - 5000 pounds monthly? would that be enough or its high? as I research tax in UK is 40 percent of your annual salary and it bothers me if this figures where enough to live a good life in UK. Anyways my work field is Operations/Systems Analyst IT Finance.
