I am a software engineer and getting an offer of 20K SAR per month including all (HRA, food, accommodation etc.).
Also my employer providing medical insurance for me only.
Would be a good idea to accept the offer and live in Riyadh with this salary ? As I am looking for saving money and that's why I am looking to accept this offer.

It's good if you do not have a lavish lifestyle.

Please note that insurance for your wife would be approx 1500 and you will also have to bear her and your kids dependent fee.

Overall 20k is good if you live a normal lifestyle!

20k SAR is good salary in Riyadh and you will definitely able to make some good savings. Please be noted that the dependents fee and other visa fees for your dependent would be from your pocket. Also if company is not providing transportation/car, it would be another few thousands you need to spend for Car EMI. Overall for a family of 2, 20k is good salary.
