That salary is enough to live a good life in SG, even save, for sure, and live carefully and save a lot. To find out if you're getting paid a fair wage, you need to break that 2100 down to per hour wages. If you're working (in class or admin) 40 hours a week, then it's not that great a wage, 25 hours a week, then you are being paid quite well.
Sorry, never heard of the company. |

Yes, that's a quite livable wage here. You could easily save half of that and still live comfortably.
Never heard of the school.
Keep in mind that $15-18/hr seems to be a decent starting wage for someone without many qualifications/experience here (for teachers, that is), after tax. At 20-25 hours a week of class time, that will afford you quite enough to live off of. |
