Food will cost you at least (in a minimum) 10 SAR a day

Drinking water will cost you 8 SAR per 3 days

If you're company will not provide you a house or accommodation but provides you cash instead, then it takes
350-400 SAR for room sharing per month (share with two to three people)
and/or 500-1500SAR solo room big enough for 3 person

Water bill and electric bill (all together) will cost around 50-90sr or less per month, believe me it's too cheap i don't even want it in this list..

If you're place of accommodation is too far from the location of your work then prepare
10sr to 30sr for taxi per each ride, if you're friendly you may find some people in the same workplace where you can avail carpool with them and may charge you 8 to 10 sr or ifyou are truly desperate to earn you can walk! (walking is healthy) just don't do it during hot season.. (now forget this paragraph if the company provided you with transportation means)

At first you may be able to buys some of this specially if you choose to live alone
800sr AC (air condition)
700sr Washing Machine
90sr Stove
100sr bed
40sr Pillow

Now add all the things you think you'll spend on then subtract it to you're total money, if its worth it, then go ahead nobody's gonna stop you..

Please bring some pants its too expensive in here, you'll choke immediately if i told you.

And if ever you're not satisfied with my answer don't look for other forums just read my answer again until you accepted that the offer is either too low or enough or too high for you.. I guess this is the most efficient answer in any forum for this kind of this question for now.
