Is 8000 SGD enough in Singapore?

$8000SGD is a decently good salary. Also, in last 3 years, SGD has increased well against INR. You'll easily be able to save between 2k to 2.5k SGD every month if you maintain an average lifestyle (renting 1bhk HDB, travelling via metro, generally eating at home etc.)



Yes, 8,000 SGD (Singapore Dollars) is more than enough for a highly comfortable, even luxurious, 7-to-10-day trip to Singapore for a solo traveler or a couple. For context, the average mid-range traveler spends approximately $200–$300 SGD per day, meaning an 8,000 SGD budget allows for a daily spend of $800 or more. With this amount, you can easily afford stays at iconic 5-star properties like the Marina Bay Sands or Raffles Hotel, dine at Michelin-starred restaurants, and enjoy premium experiences like private yacht charters or high-end shopping on Orchard Road. Even if you factor in expensive flights and frequent use of private taxis (Gratings/Grab), you would still have a significant surplus. For a family of four, this budget would cover a very comfortable week-long vacation including all major attractions like Universal Studios and the Night Safari. Since tap water is free and hawker centers offer world-class meals for under $10, an 8,000 SGD budget provides immense financial freedom in one of the world's most expensive cities.
