SR 5500, is a good salary for many here in Saudi Arabia, but if you bring you family here and if your wife is not working, 5500 is not gonna be enough if you wish to save as  well. Your house rent would be a minimum of 1300SR/month. then u have mobile bills, taxi, food, shopping and all that.  If you live alone here and share accommodation then you will be able to save enough. But everything depends on how you spend.

Think hard before you make that decision.

reconsider again. I dont feel like its good deal

Thank you very much for the information. even i believe this deal is not feasible. actually the basic is 4500. so i don't think it will work

U can survive alone here for 2500SR if u really careful about your expenses. But as a family this wont be the case.

When you say 1300SR/month for accommodation, is it a furnished one or unfurnished?

Unfurnished

Then how much for furnished?

And is this 1300/month 1 room or 2 rooms? Is it a flat/apartment or a house?

Well John has given this number and I guess here is how he has calculated:

Year rent: 15,000
Water annual charges (to be paid in full in year start): 300
Total:15,300
divide by 12: 1,275

In Riyadh with such low rent, small houses come of 1BHK size in pretty bad, dirty areas. (But again the discussion context here is MINIMUM).

'OK' kind furnished room prices start from 3,000 SAR (rooms in dedicated flats in some building)

A 'house' is called a Villa here. Prices 70,000 SAR+ per annum. Are usually 3-4BHK. The price depend on areas.

The current residential rent hike is horrible man!

Depends on your spending habit and saving acumen. You still need to spend money on mobile, food and other expenses that could come to 1000-1500 pet month. The rest you save or spend is up to you.

my advise is that you should shoot for SR 7000

i am money saver, not spend money from free hand , if i will spend my salary on food and other things like mobile internet it will be 1000-1500 sar as per your calculation n, after deduction this amaunt i will have approx. 2000 sar remaining in hand per month.
is it a good saving?

Is it a good saving for you ?? Don't take others opinion on how much you want to save. What if it can be more. Shoot for more salary as masee5 said.

If you are lucky you may get it.

you suggest me that try to get more salary , how ???
can you help me ???

Try negotiating if you can, at this stage I am not sure, but still worth a try.

Ask the company for a copy of the Commercial Registration.
