Hi Mary

How much you need to earn to have a good quality of life in Singapore is totally dependent on the lifestyle you want to lead. 

One thing you should consider though is school tuition for your children. If you want to send them to an international school it can be very expensive. Many expats try to negotiate a schooling allowance with their employer and this can often make a huge difference to expats' expenses when moving to Singapore. 

There are a few pages that might help you work out whether the salary you are being offered is enough. The first is Cost of Living in Singapore which will help you work out what your day to day expenses will be. The second is Education and schools in Singapore which will give you an overview of the schooling options in Singapore and how much you can expect to pay for tuition. The third is Salaries for expats in Singapore which will give you an indication of how much expats are currently earning.

I hope these resources are helpful to you.
