Salary Equivalent

Sat, 2007-06-30 00:18 — Anonymous

hi, anyone able to help witha slaray equivalent question.

There's an article on here that says a $60,000 HKD salary per month roughly equates to a £60,000 salary per year in the UK - in terms of lifestyle.. However it was written in 2004.

Anyone able to compare salaries in 2007.. ?

I've been offered $45k per month which seems to be the average for what I do but I have no idea whether thats a liveable wage considering I have a wife and small child

Care to comment?

Cheers
Darren

HK$ 45000 per month can make your life not bad in Hong Kong. 

If accommodation & child's education are covered than it is even better.
