I guess the salary you are quoting after tax includes all allowances like rental and with only 600 hours pa I guess it must include some hefty school fees as I do not see how that figure arises otherwise? Clearly with those hours you are SIACargo. If you have like I did the extra cost of maintaining a home back in your home country then those figures do not look that great.The London basings were fine as no currency fluctuations as paid in $Stg, and no standby duties and no additional housing costs and a roster months in advance.

What really matters is how much did you save out of that in your home country currency?

It also includes a large bonus of at least 6 months which cannot be guaranteed each year.

Perhaps you are also benefitting from what I hear is a newly introduced 10% tax whilst in my day when Singapore based I was paying from memory some S$30,000/ S$40,000 tax each year. I guess that makes up for the large increases in rental costs when your agreement runs out.
