DavyJonesLocker Posted November 11, 2017 at 03:11 AM Report Posted November 11, 2017 at 03:11 AM It can vary a lot depending on what standard of living you want or find acceptable. A one bed apartment is about 5k to 6k looking at the estate agents advertising's. Of course you will find cheaper and much more expensive. 120k a year is 10k a month. Realistically it's certainly liveable but a bit of a frugal lifestyle. Use apps like JingDong to buy groceries. It can be much cheaper, especially for western style goods. Edit: as regards taxes, you need to ask your employer. China sometimes has an usual system of quoting salaries AFTER all tax is deducted. Foreign company's operating in China is usually not like this due to people's expat status. Quote
