Cost of living in Kuala Lumpur Dear Friends, I have joined the club recently. I am a house wife and my husband is an IT professional. We are not having any kids yet but planning for one. My husband has got a job in KL and the salary range is between 10K to 11K MYR per month. We checked online and found that the tax rate is between 14%-18%. I have some queries about cost of living in KL as I need to manage the finances. I see that we already have some posts with similar questions but the information seem to be a little bit out dated. May I please request all my friend living in KL to please help me with the below queries: 1) We will be looking preferably for a fully furnished 1 BHK or 2BHK flat. Please guide about the rental range for this kind of flat. 2) What will be monthly bill for the utilities like electricity, water, cooking gas, mobile phone and internet? 3) What will be the monthly grocery expenses for 2 with primarily vegetarian food? 4) We assume that the traveling cost will not be more than 100 MYR for daily office travel. Please correct us if we are wrong. Request you all to help in this regard.
With Love,
Neelima Kotwani.
