With a family of 3 and only 1 person working and a kid going to school what is the best wage to be expected for an expat in Philippines?

Also if anyone of you can give the cost of living details, school fees, car expenses, accommodation, taxes, saving details that would help.

Comparison with Indian salary would help.
