Captain's monthly salary & benefits:
6/3: basic pay SAR 30,000 + SAR 8,333 housing allowance (if you opt not to live at the NAS compound) + SAR 800 transportation
full-time: same as above + SAR 2,500 education allowance + SAR 2,500 travel allowance
Housing expenses: it really depends on your needs, but it goes from a min of SAR 30,000/year, to SAR 150,000/year (or more). An apartment at a decent compond will cost about SAR 50-70,000/year....very hard to find availability, though.
Transportation expenses: if you buy a used car (very cheap over here), the transportation allowance will more than cover the expenses (but do you really want to drive here?). If you hire a driver it'll cost you about SAR 2000/month, provided that you have your own vehicle. If you opt for a taxi, it'll cost you about SAR 1000/month (depending on where you live).
Then all the extras for the pub, movie theatre, taking the girl out to dinner, etc.
