For a family of four like myself, 500k looks good. Below is how I break it down, on monthly basis.

Food and other provisions - 100k
Rent - 30k
Domestic Water - 10k
Drinking Water - 15k
Electricity - 10k
School fees for two kids (after taking average as 1st term is always higher) - 45k
Car Fueling and Maintenance - 75k
Cooking Gas - 9.5k
Contributory, Gift and Charity - 30k
Clothing - 30k
Occasional Outing With Family - 15k
Medicals - 15k
Save for the rainy day - 50k
Online Skills Learning - 10k
Internet and cable subscriptions - 15k

My expenses on monthly basis are to the tune of N429,500

If you think this is too high, just know that every individual cuts their suit according to their size. Moreover, if this appears too little to barely cater for your monthly provisions, I pray one day I match this type of stability and beyond.

LOL this doesn't even make any sense.
Car fueling and maintenance 75k? I don't think you have a car....
occasional family outing 15k do you take your family to mama put?
Medical 15k? You work in a firm that pays 500k but they can't afford an HMO that covers you and your kids?
Ok let's say you company doesn't do HMO, how much does it cost to have a health insurance cover for you entire Family, this is just insane manh
Can someone actually learn a proper useful skill online for 10k?
And you learn a new skill every month?
You save 45k monthly for you two kids, a term is 3 months that's 135k, are you sure your kids are in a proper school? Cos I mean 67k per term wouldn't provide quality education.

Just my observation tho....

And sorry but with this your budget you may be slaving for the rest of your life and still retire poor.
You obviously don't have any plans for investment or starting up your own shit.....
Remember your rent will be increased and school fees will increase as the kids move up in their classes but your salary may not be increased for another 2 years.
I know companies that do salary review bianually, some companies mad....

Funny you. I want you to know that in a state like Sokoto things are more expensive than in ilorin
KingAzubuike:
Depends on the location.

200k in ilorin for example is like 500k in lagos. In a place like kebbi state, you'll live well on a 50k salary self.

In lagos, as a single guy, anything below 450 is suffering. If you earn like 300, you can still manage well a bit but you might suffer

Why can't you just understand that his calculation is average per month e.g if he spends 120k per year for online training average is 10k per month.

This month alone have done CSM online Training and Certification for 320 USD, I did PSPO 1 certification exam for 200 usd... How much is that in Naira? Figure it out.

Why are you guys hell bent on invalidating someone comment because it is something you can't relate with? Is 500k too much to earn when people in this same Nigeria earn over 5k usd per month.

Your attack will not even encourage people like me to post mine because in your head we are all earning less than 100k earners per month.

If you don't understand why not simply ask rather than concluding ignorantly.

I believe you jare as this is the least every Nigerian should leave but the state of the nation has made people believe we re all leaving on 50k budget, they won't understand.

My advice is for you to start looking at long term investment.

Try see how you can acquire real estate properties, try relocation to saner clime (if your mind can carry it).

Because the future is real. You don't want to be caught up in retirement and you can't longer afford the things you can now.

The private sector discreetly operate a slavery kind of employment. Some people are paid as low as 30k, I'm talking office secretaries and bsc holders at that. Except you're in tech, if you receive 150k as monthly salary you are getting a good payment.


You just hit the nail on the head
Re: How Much Is A 'good' Salary In Nigerian Private Sector Employment by Lisaint(m): 5:40am On Oct 01, 2023
MrTuns:
Entry Level / Fresh Graduate - Anything less than 200k is slavery
Mid Level - Anything less than 350k, be in the job market and look for better offers
Senior - If you are a senior person in your career, anything less than 500k is slavery. Rethink your options.

People are earning N2M and above monthly with less than 10 years experience. Its all about gaining skills, certifications and experience in the right companies.

The best industries to work are Banking, BIG 4, Oil and Gas and Telecommunications. Forget Tech, unless you have years of experience, entry level pay is peanuts.

The truth is most entry level are paying only 50-70k
