Salary vs. Living expenses

Hi All,

I just got a job offer in Sydney. I am migrating with my wife and 3 kids. The offer is 90,000 p.a. exclusive of Super. Can anyone tell me whats my take home pay? Also, how much Tax Return i can get back?

Lastly, does this figure "enough" for living with 3 kids in Sydney? I know this question depends on what sort of living we want, but just wanted to get a feel of what you guys think - and i'll take what the majority of people say

Hi Enrico,

I have some of the same questions. I'm going to get an offer for employment for an AUS company to run their operation in Perth. My family of 5 will be joining me, only 2 are kids. I need to rent a 4+2 somewhere south of the Swan. I too have concerns about can I afford to come there to work? My salary will be around $110k, but will that be enough to live? The cost of moving my household effects will be around $6600 plus duties and fees. I don't need to live extravagantly, but a reasonable amount of comfort is preferable. Does anybody have any comments?
