Hi can someone tell average salary structure in singapore?

I am working in IT company in india and having a experiance of 3 years.
Recently i got a offer of $3700 in singapore.Is it good amount or i should ask for more.I am getting a salary of Rs 60000 per month in india.
I am a bachelor, can someone tell how much be I am able to save there.I am looking for decent shared accomodation.
I am vegetarian, so is there easily available or is it expensive?

Seems like a very decent offer to me, based on your information of "3 years experience". A normal fresh graduate will probably fetch SGD $ 2,200 – 2,800 per month.

Different from foreign employee, a local resident's salary may contain a component called CPF (www.cpf.gov.sg), which is a portion of their real income but locked in by government, sort of saving for retirement & may be used to finance housing & medical expenses.

You may spend your income this way: Single room rent = SGD 500 ~ SGD 1,000 (good location with aircon with attached bathroom), transport = SGD 200 (bus & metro) ~ SGD 500 (some taxi), food = SGD 300 (cook by your self if your rental come with access to kitchen) ~ SGD 800 (some simple-6 bucks-per-meal plus bit of restaurants)

If you are hard-core prudent, you may save like 2.5 thousands a month! Not bad at all!

Singapore individual income tax is rather reasonable too, no worries. (www.iras.gov.sg)

    You should ask for more, try asking $4000 to $4500.

    just j gave quite a good answer that. Your salary seems rather decent.

    answering to the second part of your question, you can find vegetarian food rather easily anywhere u go here.
