8. Medical / Insurance

9. Leisure

and what is the average salary of Indian CA with 3-4 yrs exp in Saudi.

This is too general. There really isn't a set salary for a CA with 3-4 yrs experience. Unfortunately, business here is pretty much a rollercoaster when it comes to salaries and expenses. Do you have an offer? For a family your contract should include housing, transportation, medical, and tutition for your children if not atleast partial payment.

You will find low to high end costs for everything you listed. Where you want to live, what kind of accomadations, what kind of school you want your children in, what you like to do in your leisure time. Internet and mobile phone packages are pretty cheap here and customized to your needs. Food/grocery is cheap too. I suggest you find an Indian community (blog/forum) site and ask around to get the particulars.

Good Luck
