Hi Jain,

Any idea on the rate for experience filipino?

My current maid started working for me last July. Her salary is $430. 4 years in Kuwait (1 employer) before coming to SG. No off day (she says is a waste of money since all expenses on her own during off days).

I heard from agency that maids with same profile as mine, starting salary increased to $480.

Thanks for the info, there has been quite a fair bit of adjustment of late.

Hi… these rates all seem quite low.


I hired a new maid in January, her salary was already $500 (but she’s 2 years ex-saudi) and no hp no off day. When i transferred her out in March, my new maid (brand new, no exp, not even in Jakarta) was $460. They are both indo maids.

Perhaps my agency has been too expensive?

Was at beauty world shop n save and saw a maid agency.


4 maids with pictures and info on poster was put outside agency. Didn’t see nationality but noted pay is $410 +$20 n 1 day off monthly. I think this s the cheapest I’ve seen.

Just got my new maid. Transfer case (had been working in Spore for 9 months before coming to my place). $420 without off day. Originally was $400 wit 1 off day but I requested for no off day with compensation. So far she is still good (better than my previous maid whom I had no time to train).

You can go back to the agency you got her from.
Depending what is her current salary, you might want to try match the current market rate.

I renew my maid myself. I type out a simple agreement based on what is discussed and agreed with the maid. Then both of us will sign on it. She will get a copy of it. Any salary adjustment needs to be agreed by both parties. I increase my maid salary to $450 and this was like a year ago. Now not sure went up by how much.

The agreement can consist of the following details:

1. New salary
2. Any off day?
3. bonus if complete full contract?
4. New duties if you just had addition of family members.
5. Things you don’t like to see her doing all this while but you have been keeping mum. Good time to highlight now.

Finally, if you are willing to extend the contract that means this maid is not too bad so may want to go easy on her and no agreement may be necessary.
