Salary for Single Girl in Dubai

I got a call from one of my contacts in Dubai and the job was confirmed. In all excitement, I did not ask the salary and secretly got very nervous about how much will I actually end up earning. So after asking few friends I made a list of basic expense to stay as a bachelor in Dubai and that is as below:

Fixed Expense (One time cost)
Brokerage / Commission	5000
Deposit & Other expense	5000
Electronics	Fridge(Nikai) – 900 Microwave (B&D) – 200 Washing Machine (Panasonic) – 1000 TV (Samsung) -1500 Mixer Grinder (Nikai)-150 Total: 3750
Furniture	Sofa (3 seater) Bed + side table + dressing unit TV Unit Centre Table Shoe Cabinet Total : 3500
DEWA & WIFI deposit	2500
3 months advance rent	15000
Parking Deposit	250
Total fixed Cost	AED 35000

Variable Deposit
Rent	5000 (For a 1 BHK in Bur Dubai)
DEWA	400
Wifi	400
Botim for video calling	100
Gas	100
Cook	300 (cooking one time)
Cleaner	400 (for a 1 BHK)
Metro	100
Grocery	400 (I eat a lot of junk)
Party	500 (drinks cost around 50 AED per peg)
Coffee	100 (having Tim Hortons coffee about 4 times a month)
Shopping	800
Mobile Bill	200
Cab	400
Gym	2500 (including Trainer)
Recurring Cost	AED 11600

So relocation bonus above 20000 and salary above 15000 will help you in decent living in Dubai without much savings. Just add how much you want to save per month and you will be good to negotiate with your manager.

PS: These number are highlight inflated, so you can end up cutting these costs also if you dont like spending much. I dont have a habit of compromising on lifestyle and hence these numbers work good for me.
