  1. The cost of renting an appartment depend on location, private or public housing estate (HDB). But generally, for private appartment, it will not cost more than S$2000 (unless is at prime location) ; and HDB not more than S$1300 for a unit with 2 rooms. Energy & water consumption should be less than S$100 for single person. Health insurance depend on the plan you take. If you are getting a term insurance, it's quite cheap. S$50 per month can cover up to S$500,000 for death and total disability. For individual income tax, probably you can check up IRAS website for detail. http://www.iras.gov.sg/ESVPortal/iit/iit-nrp-a1.3+nrp+(main+menu).asp
