None

Re: What percentage of your salary do you spend on rent?
 

None. All paid for by the company.

Re: What percentage of your salary do you spend on rent?
 

20% ish

Re: What percentage of your salary do you spend on rent?
 

25%. I'd be willing to spend up to 33% on the right place, but certainly no more than that.

ggrrr. of course you do. If you didn't, you'd earn more.

housing / (salary + housing)

Re: What percentage of your salary do you spend on rent?
 

It's about 28% for me, including DEWA.

In general, and as auzdafluff implies, housing shouldn't really take up more than a 1/3 of your income, if possible.

Re: What percentage of your salary do you spend on rent?
 

34% for me. I wish I could reduce it, but not easy when you have a family.

family in Dubai = serious wallet-injury

Re: What percentage of your salary do you spend on rent?
 

9.2%, don't live in Dubai though.....

Re: What percentage of your salary do you spend on rent?
 

Not true my old son. I negotiate salary and housing separately as do most of my colleagues. If I get a high/low salary it doesn't influence the rate I am going to get for housing afterwards.

So there :p

Hence zero for me on the percentage

From the money tree....

Let me break the bad news to you, all those 'benefits' and 'allowances' you have to earn for your employer to pay them out on your behalf. It's an accounting entry name difference only, but at the end of the day your complete package is your salary. This is what you make whatever name is put against this entry in your contract.

Re: What percentage of your salary do you spend on rent?
 

22.5%

Re: What percentage of your salary do you spend on rent?
 

Really? So after your salary is paid for, the housing allowance is paid from proceeds of lottery winings or from kindness of heart of the employer. After they finish negotiating with you, they don't draw one bottom line under 'cost of employing this guy'?
