Average Monthly Salary for a Decent Living

[surg]

150K-200K gross/month. nagpapanic nako pag less than that

[Galactus]

Ok na ang 40k NET for a family of 4, kaya lang baka public school na lang yung mga bata. And provided na walang sizeable amortizations na binabayaran (house, car, etc).

Otherwise, kulang na kulang, especially kung nangungupahan lang. Bayad ka ng bayad, hindi naman mapapa-saiyo yung bahay.

tama 50K talaga dito sa metro atleast tamang tama lng hindi poor ang dating comfortable lang. nagtataka nga ako kng paano nabubuhay yun ibang tao na 10k lng sweldo tapos may pamilya pa.

P10K tapos may tax pa ano?

Basta 2 ang may hanapbuhay sa pamilya at medyo maganda ang salary, ok na yan. Pero kung iisa lang at mababa pa sweldo, patay.

Mga public school teachers, malayo pa sweldo, naipngutang na yung tatanggapin. Kaya halos lahat ng gov't. employees, kawawa talaga, lalo na kung iisa ang breadwinner sa family.

[swordsman]

for me, it's around 40K-50K, for a family of 4.

nagtataka nga ako kng paano nabubuhay yun ibang tao na 10k lng sweldo tapos may pamilya pa.

yong iba nga, hindi lang isa ang pamilya. hakhak!

depende on your expenses, how big your family is, if your single any amount will do, if your with a family, at least 60k-70k for a decent living

[wrcastro_ph]

Tingin ko ay more than 60k pa dapat.

[Autobeat]

Food, Electric, Water, Car repairs, Medical, Celebrations, Education. If in MM, I think 60k or more kailangan. Especially kung young pa yung kids, kailangan na umipon for their highschool and college tuition.

In light of our current economic situation, What do you guys think is the reasonable Monthly Net Salary of a Household of Four with 2 young kids?
This should be exclusive of tax and assuming no Home Rental and Car Mortgage.

Thanks in advance for you inputs.

For me eto ang breakdown ng standards ko pag decent w/ 2 young kids.

Per month:

Grocery and Market: 14k
Utilities: 8800 (electricity - 5500, water - 750, mobile - 1600, telephone w/ broadband 1750)
Transportation (you and wife): 6000
Bus service (wala na akong idea sa ngayon): 4k estimate
Baon ng Kids: 2000 (50 each)
Tution Fees: 10000 (prepare 10k each month kung 60k each ang tuition ng anak mo)
Preventive Maintenance ng Car: 1k a month
Labas/Pasyal: 3k
-----------------------------
Total: 49600


Grand TOTAL (before life insurance expense)
Last but not the least.... savings:
49600 + 10% = 54560 // at least dapat ito net.

Pag ideal naman ito ang net: 49600 + 20% = 59520

So iyong sa itaas wala pa dyan ang life insurance. Magbabago iyon pag may life insurance kayo. Actually marami pang dapat ilista pero somehow yan iyong basic. Pwede pang makatipid, one is by slashing the mobile phone bill.

Kaya kailangan more than 60K pa... syempre kailangan magkaron ng savings. Tapos pano pag may binabayaran pang bahay or kotse.. tsk tsk tsk..
