| Video Discription | A question which I’ve been meaning to answer for some time is “what is the cost of living over there for an expat?” It seems like it can be a very confusing question. To give you the short answer, it's very reasonable and for me, coming from London, it's refreshing! I’m going to take you through what you need to consider and keep in mind all costs shown are in Saudi Arabian Riyals. THE BIG STUFF! Accommodation - This will be the biggest chunk and you should receive 25% of your salary each month to cover accommodation, this is standard and is a requirement when hiring expats - Costs vary significantly from city to city, apartment vs compound vs villa etc, so this is what I’ve found based in Jeddah for the past 4 years. - 1 bedroom - 40-70,000 annual - 2 bedroom - 70-100,000 annual - 3 bedroom - 100,000+ annual Travel - You should receive 10% of your salary each month as your travel allowance; again this is a standard - Taxi life - 30-75 per trip / 140 per day / 950 per week / 3,800 per month - Car rental - 2,500 and upwards - Car purchase - as you like… (!) Health Insurance This will be covered as standard as part of your employment; I really recommend finding out what bracket your company are putting you so you’re aware and can request an upgrade. I won’t include these in the total budget because the fluctuations are vast; I’ll let you do some of the math ;) THE MONTHLY EXPENSES! Pretty sure I’ve covered most things here. Again, huge fluctuations based on what life you want to life. - Bills (water and electric) - 400 - Wi-Fi - 400 - Mobile - 100 - Gas / Petrol - 400 - Car Wash - 60 - Gym - 700 - Groceries - 1000 - Meat - 1000 - Veg & Fruit - 400 - Water - 60 - Supplements - 500 - Higher end restaurants - 2,000 - Mid-range restaurants - 1,200 - Takeaways - 1,500 - Coffees - 300 - Haircuts - 300 - Entertainment - 600 Total for monthly expenses are around 10,500 SAR for a couple. You should comfortably be able to cut this by half if you're prioritising on saving or spending a little more carefully. I hope this helps!
