What is the cost of living in Dubai vs salary?
Answers (1)
Cost of living in Dubai versus salary considerations: A comfortable lifestyle requires minimum monthly income of AED 10,000-12,000 for singles and AED 15,000-20,000 for families. Housing remains the largest expense (studio: AED 25,000-40,000 annually; 1BR: AED 35,000-60,000; 2BR: AED 50,000-90,000) depending on location, with areas like Downtown and Marina being most expensive. Other major expenses include: education (AED 15,000-70,000 per child annually), transportation (car purchase/lease plus fuel: AED 1,500-3,000 monthly), groceries (AED 1,500-3,000 monthly for family), utilities (AED 1,000-1,500 including internet), healthcare (typically employer-provided, co-pays extra), and entertainment. Most expatriates find they need to earn at least 30% more than home country salaries to maintain similar lifestyle.
