17,000. That used to be the basic salary. I believe it has gone up a little maybe to 22,000 for Basic Salary? You might get a little flight salary if your lucky.
When you go on your yearly holiday, enjoy the hanging around the Aviator. That's all you can afford.
Salary for your Anual leave - 22000
Rent-15000
Airline Ticket Home (for one person)- 16,000
Leave the family in Hong Kong, family life is not important.
Other bills for that month?
Spending money on holiday?
TOTAL = costs more than you earn that month. The only holiday you can afford is a day trip to Macau, food court, and watching Discovery Channel. No money for you.
