Hey guys.. After reading posts. I can see that the ave salary is 8,5mill a month. I was wondering what type of life this would let you live?
How much do you need to live well in Jakarta?
Thanks |

All relative, but if you're single and can live without a car, I'd say Rp15 million/month would allow you to live pretty well without having to think too much about money. 8.5/month and you'd be making too many sacrifices to make it worth while for more than a few months in my opinion. Others would disagree. |

If you are single and do not have any financial commitments and do not want to save but rather just enjoy your tour of duty, 8.5 will be fine (on condition you are not paying rent).
If you are in JKT for the long haul and are thinking of settling down, you will need the 15 to make it worth the struggle. |

Hi Elliot, 8.5 is not the average, this is rock bottom. With minimal qualifications you can earn more than this in an entry level job. |

True. I doubt you will find anyone paying less than that in Jkt or surrounding area. |
