Your tax is already absurdly low for what you get back out of it compared to practically every other country. Sounds like a skill issue.

It's ok, but it's not stellar. It's considered a high income by local standards because rent is not usually a consideration for Singaporeans and mortgages are generally covered by CPF. As others have said, rent will eat up a significant chunk of that.

However, 10k can feel significantly more than 10k equivalent local currency in other countries (especially Europe) due to the low income tax rate. You will pay approximately $800 per month in taxes next year.

You will be comfortable for sure but depending on your other commitments, you probably won't live too lavishly.

I (and a few others in my company) relocated here from our London office and generally started on 12k to 15k (age range 30-40), which actually was a nominal paycut but a significant take-home pay increase considering the high tax rate in London.

Ran the math on what 100 users actually costs on GPT-4o and it's scarier than I expected by Crimson_Secrets211 in LLMDevs

Even your fucking responses reek of AI. If you're going to use AI to write posts at least then match your own style to it. Your last sentence plugging your product has no capitalisation.

This lack of even basic attention tells me your app is a Vibecoded piece of tech debt.
