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.

You not paying your tithe? What of donations for church building and A/C

I use I estimate of 60k. My child school is along my way to work to and fro. And my office is just 35 minutes away from home. Luckily I am always against traffic.
From Monday to Thursday I spent 2:30mins in traffic and I leave home by 10am or 11am in a bid to avoid traffic...
Moving against traffic is good luck in Lagos

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.

LoL the only part you could defend is the "online skill learning" why didn't you defend the others I mentioned.
E.g. the health budget. I pointed out several areas.
PS some of us earn that much and more but we dont really depend on salary, no one earning 500k a month living well. How does he even budget 10k for electricity. How many unit 10k wan buy? Make una dey look that guy budget well na.
With 50k savings a month he is only gonna be able to save 600k a year.... Which is less than 10% of his annual income.
Una no wan give am better advise ba?

Companies pay according to value.
You will be paid 2m if you are worth it.
500k na actually normal earnings. Drivers are taking home 120 to 150, so you.
The company I work for the chief driver takes home 200k other take 150k, they start with 120k for 6 months then move you up.
No dey reason like that.
Build value and you would be surprised what you would earn.

Considering the present economic situation and perpetual inflation in this country, a “good” take home salary in my opinion is at least the naira equivalent of $1000.

NB: I strongly advise the Government to start paying our salaries in US Dollars.

Bro most people are not exposed or they are used to poor renumeration package. Whya can't a company that you are giving your time and energy pay you 500k in a month.... Where am working, staff bus drivers go home monthly with nothing less than 170+. So if staff bus drivers are earning such, why can't a staff earn more than 500

That has applied for countless of GT prog and nothing come out of it...

They had no choice than to take that entry level offer like that


Stop jumping to conclusion. If you are exposed and well informed you know graduate earns well in Lagos. Have seen a fresh graduate that was offered 360 as starting salary in bank. So why would you say graduate earns 50-70k per month
Im not trying to discredit GT program and how much they pay!

So many apply and didn't get picked

Earning in US Dollars is the smartest move ever. Many think it is a complicated process. It is not.

If you can do small stuff like writing, data entry stuff online etc

Remember $1000 is now 1million naira, why don't you improve your skills instead of fighting for a 200k job.
