Salary trends in Kuwait - What you need to know
Lets say I'm an engineer in the US making 100,000 usd annual (2380kd - monthly) I could probably expect a salary offer聽 in Kuwait of about 2860kd plus accommodation and transportation allowances... probably around 3300kd total
same job, and I'm from lets say the philippines
Engineer in the Phil's making 80,000 php monthly (545kd) could probably expect an offer around 1000kd total
for the same job!
Where you come from and what you would have been making there will have the largest impact on your base offer!
(simply my opinion)聽 lol
Nice info bro. . . . Kudos

I read your information with a great pleasure. I would like to know if the age could be a barrier in having or looking for a job for example in the education sector?
With all my thanks.

Many thanks for your reply.
As I am 60 years old with a great experience in teaching and translating, I thought that it will be a barrier.
If it is like some Gulf Countries, I heard that at this age, you are retired and have to leave the country.
Once again, thank you for your advice.
Regards,
Nora
Good Luck聽

vikassamota this salary will be sufficient for you to live with your wife initially. I work for Q8REALTOR Co which is one of the renowned, reputed and professional Real Estate Management Co in Kuwait having Apartments, Properties and Villas all over Kuwait available for rent/lease at competitive prices. Thus I have a little knowledge about the rental prices in Kuwait.
A 1 BHK unfurnished Apartment will cost you anywhere between 170-250 KD depending on the area and location, and a 2 BHK unfurnished will be around 260-350 KD again depending on the area and location. For fully furnished you can add another 100 KD for 1 BHK and 100-200 KD for 2 BHK. I will suggest that you take an unfurnished one so that you can furnish it later on according to your & your wife's taste and preferences. I must mention that 1 BHK are very few and not easily available whereas 2 BHK are plenty and easily available. Food, Groceries, Mobile and other miscellaneous expenses can be managed in another 125-150 KD max if you do smart shopping and take advantage of the various offers available at the various Super & Hyper Markets. Weekly once outings can be managed in another 50-80 KD.
So all in all, even if you take a 2 BHK (unfurnished) on rent, on an average your expenses will be in the range of 500-550 if you manage your finances and expenses smartly. Thus your savings can be聽 around 300 KD initially. Later on when your wife starts working, it will only add to your income as well as savings.
If you need any assistance in getting an Apartment when you reach Kuwait, just send me a message and I will guide you. Good Luck!!
House 1 bhk 270-300 unfurnished
Food+outside food occasionally (monthly 2-4 times): KD 200
Car:聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽 聽KD 100 (If you want to buy)
300+200+100=600
850-600=250 KD
KD 200-250 , he can save.
i would be looking for 1BHK only (Furnished / Unfurnished)..for that 1 Believe it will be managed under 250-300KD while for other Expenses on Food, Groceries and other Miscellaneous expenses would cover under 250KD which in total would be 550KD, so by this Calculations i would be able to save around 300KD even if my wife stays with me without work..am i right here in this calculation..??
Pls let me also know that would my wife Technically / Practically be able to come there with me on dependent or visit visa and can search/ apply for Jobs in kuwait..??
Thanks
Vikas Samota
You will be easily able to sponsor your wife the moment you complete your residence and other formalities and obtain your Civil Id. One only needs to have a work contract or 'Izn-e-amal' with a salary of KD 250 mentioned in it to sponsor his wife and children as per the law at the moment here in Kuwait. And, as I have already mentioned in the previous post, your wife can search and apply for jobs as per her qualifications & experience while being on dependent visa. Only when she starts working, she will need to change her residence from your sponsorship to the employer's.
but dont you think that 2BHK would be Bigger and Unnecessary for a Couple to Stay and Invest....By The way Can You Suggest any good places near Al Omariya as my office would be there..?
Regards,
Vikas Samota
I will also appreciate if you provide me the information about the law of Kuwait for getting the release from one company to another(transfer of the job from one to another company). Some people says that we can get release after 2 years and some says after 3 years. I want to know the Kuwait Labour Law about this matter. Eagerly waiting for your positive feedback.
Many Thanks
For a family of 4 a min of 750 KWD salary is must for a decent living.
Please suggest if that is a good salary, have no idea about salary structure in ME area. But it looks like a mid-level engineer salary in NA.
Congratulations!!!
This is a very good offer and you should move forward for this offer without thinking.
You can live in Salmiya or Kuwait city.
Thx

You're a lucky f***er. That's much more than twice my salary and I don't get the benefits you list. I put my life and soul into trying to create the next generation of people who will shape our future. Teachers get screwed over and under-valued everywhere.
Take the job and then try to think about those who got you where you are and give a little (or a lot) back.
What is the salary range in kuwait for a Senior Accountant with a bachelor's degree ?
I am not sure if you've been asked this yet, sorry if you have.
I would like to know the average monthly cost of living in Kuwait, excluding accommodation & transport costs.
Basically how much is needed for toiletries, food and entertainment per month.
Thank you.
